According to Tim Sweeney's tweet from five minutes ago,

Epic is in contact with the family and will solve the insurance for them. There is high confidentiality around medical information and it was not a factor in this layoff decision. Sorry to everyone for not recognizing this terribly painful situation and handling it in advance.

Pretty reasonable response from them after finding out about it.

Of course it's a good response.

Epic is a $20+ billion dollar company, they definitely hired an expensive PR crisis firm to handle public communications.
