Or the fact he took what little chance of closure they had to the grave with him. His family will get the chance to bury him and grieve for him, how many others are in shallow grave or bogs that he knew about that are simply classed as missing whose families are in limbo. This seems to have been missed amongst all the eulogising that's frankly made me feel a little queasy, he wasn't a Gandhi or a Martin Luther King, he was a murdering ******* who never showed an ounce of regret for the crimes he helped commit, the fact he played a part in the peace process shouldn't mean all he did previously is forgotten or overlooked. As far as I'm concerned a rather odious individual is dead, big deal.
