No parent who has just lost their child looks & acts like that. That was not a “brave front” or “composure” or “self control”. Unless this man is a sociopath, there is just no way.
The throes of shock, horror and depression will cause anyone to act in a variety of different ways.

For them this would be normal behavior and in the good old days everyone would recognize it as what it is ~ a burial custom of a small but ancient ethnic group.
Billy Blythe, Bill Clinton's gypsy ancestor, died way back in the 1800s and his relatives begged for money to bury him.
