Did you file a complaint with the police? If not, do. The action you describe is a crime, and your assailant should be prosecuted for it. Suing him in civil court afterwards will remain an option; and all the evidence you will need for the civil action will be adduced in the criminal case.

I am so sorry for your loss. Unfortunately you cannot sue this man for your mother's decision to discontinue dialysis and subsequent death. You can, however, file a police report for his theft of your mother's property, but first you would need to become legal representative of your mother's estate (executor or administrator, depending on whether she had a will).  Once you are appointed executor or administrator, you may have other claims against this person, depending on the facts. For example, if he was living in your mother's property and was not a co-owner, you can have him evicted.  More information is needed to determine your best course of action.  It is understandable that under these circumstances, you would want to pursue every possible remedy against this person.
