The Darkened Sky Event
From doktorsleepless
John Reinhardt saw something wrong when he was a child. His parents were occultists of some description, messed up with The Darkening Sky. They died.
What more do we know? All we've seen are visions of tentacled horrors in memories.
If Doktor Sleepless is to be believed, his parents died after they used the "Darkening Sky" as a key to open up a gate to another dimension, one in which humans on the planet are tasty snacks. A tentacled/Cthuhlu creature sucked out his parent's "neural energy" or soul, killing them without leaving a mark on their bodies. Doktor Sleepless comes up with with idea of killing everyone to deprive the creatures of a meal.
The coroner's report called their deaths misadventure by an overdose of recreational drugs. It was believed by Preston Stoker and presumably others in the Heavenside Police Department that their deaths were part of a suicide pact but the coroner was pressured to report it as misadventure so that young John Reinhardt would not be obstructed in accessing his parent's estate.
It is currently unclear which version of events (if either) is closest to the truth. The trauma of seeing his parent's suicide could have caused John to lose his grip on reality and invent his alternate version, alternately Preston Stoker could be aware of the supernatural version of events and be covering it up for unknown reasons. Of course either Preston Stoker or Doktor Sleepless could be lying for unknown reasons.
