This is unfortunate, and my heart goes out to the family and friends of this bloke, but it has fallen into the typical stereotyping of someone, which does get up my nose. I know someone who used to be a bailiff, and he was one of the nicest blokes ever, so would be unfair to call him a bully etc, they arnt all the same.
he used to be a bailiff why did he leave?ask him?
