What a fucked up title. Upstanding dude dies in an unfortunate accident and the title makes fun of his very moral standing.

I can kinda see how maybe they meant it in an honorable way? Like "Look at this guy, he stuck to his morals and was an upstanding person." But it really should have been more clear if that was their intention.
