I think the attempt was to show that the family life was troubled, as in "the kid was acting out at school because of turmoil at home". They have no quotes, no info even as to cause of death, but they're constructing an "unemployed dad kills after falling to pieces over two years" story anyway. The kid's emotional failings become symptoms of dad's descent into madness.
