Actually, it says he mudered his wife. That's presented in the game with the last level of Kathryn. He's alone because he's in the hospital with a mental illness. He's not allowed to leave because it wouldn't be safe. I don't know if he meant to murder her, but I doubt it.

It was a great game. One of the best. Very touching, made me cry.
I hope you keep up the good work.
