I'm betting on the murder theory. If it turns out that it happened because he found out rather than having been told then it only serves to emphasis the importance of being upfront and the danger of stealth.

Don't get me wrong. I am not blaming the victim and I am certainly not giving this b#@^$rd a pass. I am just saying that even after surgery we have to be very careful and being up front is part of that.
