I am so sorry for his family. Though I know this isn't the ending they wanted, I am glad they will be able to have some closure now.

Oh how heartbreaking. Although the family can now have closure, it doesn’t make it any easier when there is a loss.
He seemed to be loved by many; over 100 comments with people offering their condolences.
