Death[]
On April 15th, 2018 Frank Murdock was shot in the back of the head twice by Freddy Price. Frank had slowly been going insane and after the murder of his daughter. His mental state continued to decline after his involvement in the murder of his best friend, Jack Deakins.
After quitting SecuroServ earlier that day after disrespecting valued SecuroServ clients Rising Sun (he had stabbed Shizuo Orihara earlier in the month, and they demanded Frank perform yubitsume on his little finger to make amends). Frank then also shoot Trooper Mike Bayo, harming SecuroServ's reputation before the upcoming trial for Jack Deakins' Murder. Becoming increasingly frustrated by Frank's behavior, Freddy Price decided to take Frank up to Paleto Lumber Mill along with Mike Lemonade to talk things over. Frank admitted he was empty and lost without Jack and Lily, and wasn't sure where his life was going anymore. Freddy decided his best option was to kill Frank, reluctantly shooting him then-and-there on the side of the mountain.
Mike and Freddy then took his corpse to Vinewood Cemetery and laid Frank to rest next to his daughter Lily Murdock. Several days after, Frank's body was discovered by the police through reports made by locals who witness the event take place. They brought Frank's body to the coroner's office so it would be examined properly.

Many of Frank's friends and acquaintances were present at the funeral, including his two estranged sons Ray and Joe Murdock. During the eulogies, Frank's son, Ray, pulled out a note left behind by his father which he began to read as Frank's final message to those he left behind:
- "Life doesn't always turn out the way you expect it to. I just found out I've got untreatable small cell lung cancer and have three to six months to live. Funny enough, I didn't really care when I found out. It got me thinking where it all went wrong and quite frankly I don't know where it all did. I got lost in it all so long ago I almost forgot what it feels like to be human at times. All the lives that I've ruined come with a cost, a steep one at that. I wasn't there for my family when they needed me and look how that turned out. My baby girl dead at the hands of someone much like myself. Jack's death and the trial related to his death is the final straw for me. Sometimes I think about the families that I stomped out of existence when I got kicked off the force. It all boils down to law and my disregards for it. You know the world isn't run by the laws written on paper, its run by people. Some according to the laws others not. It depends on each individual and how his world will be and how he makes it, you also need a lot of luck so that somebody else doesn't make your life fail. It ain't as simple as they tell you in grade school but it's good to have strong values and maintain them; in marriage, in crime, in war, always and everywhere. I messed up, so did Freddy and Jack. We wanted a better life but in the end we were a lot worst off than most other people. You know what I think, it's most important to keep a balance in things. Yeah a balance, that's the right word, because the guy who wants too much risks losing absolutely everything, but of course the guy who wants too little in life might not get anything at all."
