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.

That's the cruelest thing about our insurance system. When you get really sick and can no longer work, you also lose coverage.
