This is sad for some reason we may NEVER know!

Last I checked parent’s includes the mother; or does he have a step-mother who shares the house?
I wonder what his reason will be?

Man! What's wrong with these people here? I love my parents and even keep in touch with them weekly. @ kaimycahl - You're right. I'm sure a lot of mental issues. I'm sure that guy's life is messed up completely. My condolences to the father.

Try reading the sentence again.
"Sawada lives with his parents and his mother was out at the time of the incident."
You could argue that a comma would have been useful after "parents", but it's not the kind of massive mistake that would have confused most people.
