Same for Face ID. I read a few weeks ago about police officers being able to use the fingerprints of a deceased suspect to get into his smartphone. They pressed the corpse's finger against the sensor. Personally I think that access to a persons smartphone, tablet, computers, etc. should require a legal search warrant, but that isn't the case in many jurisdictions. I jokingly tell my friends, "In case I'm found dead, delete my browser history and text messages!"
With Apple's Face ID they supposedly designed it to only work when the eyes are open. I've not tested that, but if true I think that requirement could easily be remedied with a corpse too.
