Once again I am conflicted, but essentially the dad is probably right, the world is crammed full of stupid ways to die and he wouldn't be any less dead if the kid had got into the cleaning products or fell in the pool or got killed in a car mishap...I think back to the near misses in my own child's life and how they haunt me even though he survived my witless parenting in those early years. That guy must be sick with what happened, but people will pile on. It is our way.
Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.
