While a dead man failsafe is a good idea - facial recognition would be my preference for situations like that described in court, the bigger issue is compartmentalization. Whole disk encryption sounds good, but the flip side is whole disk decryption and that doesn't sound so good and didn't work out well when it mattered.

Based on the testimony everything was encoded from the same one time pad so to speak. That kinda' misses the point of one time pads.

Anyway enough thinking like a criminal or a spy for one day.
