No, it does not come out of the deposit. The Tenant is not responsible for his own murder. Good grief. That would be akin to saying that a tenant is responsible for damages caused by a tornado.

Courts would never assign this type of damage to the tenant (or, technically, his estate).

How's it any different than charging the tenant for repairs from a break-in? Also ostensibly not his fault, but I see landlords on this board saying they charge the tenant because he is in possession.
