This is very sad to hear.
May he have a fortunate rebirth.

[confusedlayman]

Let him have fortunate rebirth or he was already reborn in good plane due to following buddhism

According to Sotapatti Samyutta, e.g. the suttas SN 55.1 (= SA 835), SN 16-17 (= SA 636),
if one has definite faith (aveccappasaada)
in the Buddha, the Dhamma/Dharma, the Sangha, and noble morality (ariyakanta-siila) (such as the five precepts),

one "is released (parimutto) from hell (niraya), from the realm of animals (tiracchayoniyaa), and from the realm of ghosts (pittivisayaa)";
one "is released from evil rebirth, from woe-realm, from downfall (apaaya-duggati-vinipaataa)" (SN 55.1);
"it is an absolute impossibility that such a person should be reborn in hell, the realm of animals, or in the realm of ghosts (niraya.m vaa tiracchaanayoni.m vaa pittivisaya.m vaa)" (SN 55.16-17). (see pp. 229, 233, in Choong Mun-keat, The Fundamental Teachings of Early Buddhism).
