I don't know how to say this without being insensitive but when you say your mentor was killed do you mean he died or was killed by someone?
I think it's a linguistic difference between Australia and America. Here in Aus generally while you can say "killed by cancer" etc unless you mention the cause it's assumed that "killing"= "murder" (or at least manslaughter). You typically use "died" or "past away" if it was natural or medical causes...
I'm sorry to be indelicate I'm just a little curious. I remember when Joe Biden was in the Vice-Presidential debate he kept talking about how his wife was killed and I was imagining a main-street homocide. Then he later mentioned that they died in a car accident and it threw me because I didn't know about that linguistic difference.
Look at this tree. I cannot make it blossom when it suits me nor make it bear fruit before its time [...] No matter what you do, that seed will grow to be a peach tree. You may wish for an apple or an orange, but you will get a peach.
