Can we claim tax refund if taxpayer die?

Hi Basu sir, My brother recently died in road accident. He is paying tax from last 5 years and received Form 16. One of my friends suggested we can claim 3 times of tax paid (my brother paid tax approx 2laks FY 2016-17) from the incometax department if the person died in an accident. Is it true that we can claim money from income tax dept? The problem is he not given more info on this so asking you. Thanks, Brahmananda Reddy.
