Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
My father passed away and I now have his iPad. I need to delete his iCloud account but do not know his password and his email account registered with Apple is now also deleted. How do I delete his iCloud account? OS8 now on the ipad.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Contact AppleCare (or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
I'm not exactly sure what procedures are in place for such events but Apple can assist in such cases, but it may take a while and you may need to provide a death certificate and a note from the executor that the device has been willed to yourself, along with an original proof of purchase.
