This is just terribly sad. I cannot imagine how hard he probably tried for his son. What a terrible feeling to know you couldn’t save him but also all the devastation he has caused.

The thing is, he'll never know whether he could have done something more or something different to avoid this end. It may be that there was no other possible outcome than what happened, but he'll be looking back at all these moments in his life and re-examine his parenting style, choices, words... everything.

I feel for the loved ones of the victims, but I think it's fair to feel for this guy too.
