However, the investigation showed that at the time of his death, Mr. Hickman's life was in turmoil. Lisa Hickman, his wife of 29 years, was ill, and he had been caring for her for some time. Mr. Hickman had also recently lost some money in the stock market, Lt. Anglada said.

I'm sure this helped his wife feel better. Anyway, I suspect it was more the embarrassment of working for a place like Red Lobster.
