Replying to a friends dad passed away

This weekend my friend went to a soccer tournament in eastern washington, and they were involved in an accident. My friends dad passed away, and my friend was taken to the hospital, but I am not sure how he is doing. I was wondering if any of you had advice as to how to talk to my friend when he recovers and how to help him cope with this enourmous loss. Thank you for your help.

And leave a blanket of ash on the ground.' - Kurt Cobain
