First, condolences for your loss. I'm afraid your past the statute of limitations, or time limit, to bring a lawsuit, as wrongful death needs to be brought within one year of the date of death. To the extent the committed fraud to cover up the cause of death, you may be able to restart the one year timeframe from when you have first obtain proof of the lie. Regardless, this is a federal government investigation, so they may still look into your husband's death and could obtain such proof. Here is the contact info for the US Attorney's office organizing the current investigation:
