Killing yourself just because your dad got fired is quite a stretch, and since this particular scandal has been brewing for a while, I can't see why the outcome would ignite such devastation. Was he THAT embarrassed or angered by his father's actions, or was there something else going on? Perhaps he had access to this father's account and sent the messages, and his dad covered for him.
