My thought is his son was hit by a car or a train. the songs talks about one shoe on one shoe off with his overalls torn in the rain. Not to many clean deaths especially accidents result in that scene. Especially if they lived in a city as was implied by the images in the movie. The only other possibility that comes to my mind is a beating such as with a ball bat. But that doesnt seem to fit the nature of johns grief and doesnt fit as well with the songs lyrics regarding the boy.
