Reading btwn the lines. He was at the DAys Inn and up to no good with some guy he picked up. Hitting the pipe and smoking some pipe. A bad combo.
Choices. And bad, questionable ones. I feel bad for the wife and, worse, daughter. Jeez, as Norry might say. I hope he had, or the station had, a good policy for him that covers such behavior resulting in death. Or, better yet, contains some "Hollywood rider" that covers it without releasing details to the wife and daughter.
