Why was the old man killed?


I never heard of this movie til this afternoon. I just saw this movie on cable and thought it was wonderful. Great acting and great screenplay. I understand why it won the Oscar. One Question: Why was the old man killed at the office? Who was he and why was he killed? Thanks for anybody who might be able to answer this.

My teacher said he wasn't killed, they just grabbed him and took him into some office so the americans walking to the elevator wouldn't see him ranting.

There's no direct indication that the man in the office was killed - he was dragged into some room and, for a brief moment, the woman saw that something fishy was going on inside that room, but it was not enough to say that killing was taking place.
