Yes, you can file his return as Married filing separately.
Taxpayers whose spouses died during the tax year are considered married for the entire year, provided they did not remarry. The surviving spouse is eligible to file as Married Filing Jointly or Married Filing Separately.
If filing Married filing separately, the deceased spouse's filing status becomes Married Filing Separately.
