In some economies, Copyright falls to the heirs or assigned owner for a stated period after death. From the University of Melbourne:

Copyright generally lasts 70 years after the death of the creator or after the first year of publication, depending on the type of material and/or when it was first published: Artistic works, including photographs, Dramatic works.

It seems it is not copyright but veto right. But he has passed away. Cannot veto any more?
