No, sorry, if you do nt know how or where, you do NOT know for a fact. You may have a strong belief, but 'facts' are more solids than that.
Anyway, assuming they did cash it, it all depends on the circumstances. It's not clear what you mean, is this a cashier's check made out TO the deceased, or one made out BY the deceased, for the benefit of someone else. I'll assume the former, since the latter is perfectly normal. Checks issued by a deceased person, and signed, are legally cashable by the intended recipient.
On checks made out TO a deceased, it still depends on the circumstances. If the person endorsed (signed the back of) the check, it becomes legal tender, anyone in possession can cash it. Otherwise, only the executor of the will has the right to cash the check.

This is one of those duties of the Administrator/executor of the estate of the diseased. The check became a part of the estate when the person died.
