Thank you for sharing this tragic story here on PC. Personally I think the obvious recommendation here is to have your grandson seen by a child psychologist or mental health therapist who has expertise in working with children. In the meantime, here are links to 9 articles, from PsychCentral's archives, that hopefully may be of some help. These are not going to address your grandson's situation directly. But, hopefully, the information in them can be helpful in understanding the dynamics of the situation your grandson is in & in figuring out how to address these tragic circumstances:

P.S. Here's a link to another series of articles I just came upon, in PC's archives, on the subject of talking to your child about the loss of a loved one:
