Well the cops could always dismantle it remove the internal storage and SD card flash and use a computer to view the contents....there's ways to flash the data from the internal storage on phones.

It's up to the court to decide if he "self-incriminates" himself.
He should give up his password. How many people would cite his "human rights" are being infringed if this was child porn, or something deeply disturbing, rather than the tragic death of a fellow human being.
There should be controls here and these can be applied by a judge as part of a judicial process, like a search warrant. Not sure how it works in the States, but in the UK a judge or magistrate gives authorisation for the search of someone's home, for example.
