Oh my, that's very strange that you weren't alerted of his death. I'm glad that you were able to work things out!
Hence why I also rolled back to save him. I deem it a glitch. He was unceremoniously taken out of my game. Reminds me of an earlier iteration (yes, I've had to restart, reboot, and reclaim him many times since the 2020 March Patch.) At one point, Erik was simply targeted for death. I found him on the ground in that quasi-fetal position. I rolled back the first time to understand just what happened, then, too. Seems his older brother, Aaron told him a joke that caused Erik to go hysterical, making him the third death by emotion I had experienced. I continued to play that rollback, wherein I was able to bypass the 'death', only to find Erik crumpled on the ground, in the snow, in front of his vault. Why? Again, I rolled back to before his twin nephews aged up to Toddler and continued from there, only to find Erik at the bottom of the porch steps (again in the snow and yes he was properly attired for it—he didn't freeze to death). His sister and brother-in-law found him. :open_mouth:
Another player then asked if I had made a backup of my saves folder? I had quite forgotten about it, so once I substituted the saves folder, things played as they should. Guess the patch did something after all. At any rate, this one is a brand new game save! So, what is it about Erik the game doesn't like? My persistence to tell his story? Eerie, much. I rise in flame, cried the Phoenix.
