on the legal tip, I wouldn't listen to anything that wasn't told to me by a lawyer. preferably two or more, it's crazy how legal opinions can vary depending on the interpretation of the attorney
as to whether it's ethically ok to use the content, that's up to you. not sure if you're soliciting those types of opinions but here goes:
porn is one of those things that peeps tend to feel strongly about, one way or another. sure the peeps in the footage are dead and nothing you do can harm them, but imagine if 50 years from now someone takes footage of an intimate moment in your life and uses it in a video about something you loathe? I have no idea how those peeps felt about porn, thing is you don't know that either.
flat out though, regardless of the type of film you have planned, I just don't think it's ethically ok to use peeps recorded lives without their consent.
I dunno, there's really no 'real' harm here provided your ass is covered legally, but if I were you I still wouldn't use it
in general though it sounds like you have some really cool creative stuff brewing. love your passion for what you do and wish you good luck with all of it
