Mitzi, I agree with the rest of your post but am curious about how you know this strange intelligence.

Hi pillarboxred:

There is no intelligent insight on my part just an assumption looking at the time and effort he went to planning his funeral with all the regalia to go with it signifying that he knew he was a celebrity, a respected charity worker and wanted his epitaph to reflect this. 

On the other hand he may have gone to his death racked with guilt, aware of his past actions and felt ashamed and remorseful of his behaviour either way, and again this is an assumption on my part, I bet his last thoughts were about himself and not about his victims - even one victim is far too many.
