"We will approach it in whichever manner either his family or the people involved in that episode....however they would like it to be handled," he told the Associated Press. "We consider it to be not our decision to make. We will navigate it as delicately as possible and just adhere to any wishes they would want because I don't think there's any other way we could deal with it. It's completely up to them and that's a conversation we haven't even thought about right now."
