I have an apple watch given to me by a friend who has passed away and the activation lock is set. Can this be removed?

Not by you. If the family of the deceased friend wants you to have access to use the watch, present this link to them --> How to request access to a deceased family member’s Apple account – Apple Support (UK)


Apple will not help you at all. They will help the family, if the family is willing to follow the directions in the link.
