Yes, this actually pissed me off pretty badly.

Less than a week after Douglas died, his publisher announced that they'd scoured his hard disk and dug up his half-finished manuscript, and that they were going to publish it.

This is one of the worst moneygrubbing things I can think of. Douglas is probably rolling over in his grave right now.

Have you ever written anything? Could you imagine your embarassment if someone took a half-finished copy and published it before it was ready?

I have already told my friends that if I die unexpectedly, I want someone to erase my hard disk completely ASAP. I don't want anyone digging up any half-written crap that I never intended to publish.
