Perhaps I missed it, but what is the name of the wallet file that you found?  That might help determine what software it worked with and then you can see what it had in it.

As people said above, make copies of the file(s) before doing anything, just in case.  Likewise, before sending them to anyone make sure they are legit and not scammers.

So now I am not sure what to do, should I just keep it or try to open and see ( i really doubt there is anything there ).

If there are coins inside i won't be able to use/transfer them without pass and bruteforce wont probably work.

So does anyone have any suggestion?
Well, you can never really know the content of the wallet if it has anything in it at all without looking right? So you’ve just got to look to see what you could find. Mind you, don’t forget it’s not your wallet and so, be sure to seek the parent’s consent in what ever dealings you’re doing.

It must be sad for the parents, having to go through this and you must be really close to the family and most of all, your friend to be given that task.
It’s better you be the one to go through his things and be proper about it than for the parents to look out for someone else who is most likely not going to be trust worthy.

Perhaps, you still have to go through his things, passwords and seed phrase don’t come by guessing with specifics to public addresses.
