Is the deceased held accountable for the increasing electricity meter bill that has not been paid after his death, and is it considered a debt upon him?

Electricity meter bills issued after a man's death are borne by the heirs, not the deceased, because his ownership ceases upon his death and the inheritance becomes the property of the heirs. The deceased is only held accountable for what occurred during his lifetime, unless it has been settled from his estate or from other sources.
