How would you handle this sad situation - tenant suicide

I saw this online today.  How would you have handled it?

"Woman battles landlord after husband commits suicide and she moves out" www.azcentral.com

The tenants were a young couple.  The husband had been in the military & had an accident which caused PTSD. He took his own life while the wife was there in the apartment with him.  The PM verbally stated no charges would be due after pro-rated rent was paid & tenant moved out.

The PM company billed the widow for damages for cleanup by a remediation company.
