“I have his phone and see you two had a relationship. I don’t know how close you two were, but no matter the relationship, he is not here. I am sorry to have had to inform you like this. I will be deleting all his content on his phone and giving the phone to my daughter.”

“Again, I’m sorry to have told you in this way but see you keep texting him. So, before I delete everything, I wanted to share this sad news.”
