IANAL, but those facts could support "fired", or "resigned", or "short-term contract not renewed", or probably other stuff.

I mean fired and resigned when it became clear you'd be fired are the same thing really.

We're not actually entitled to know the exact details of someone's job ending. They worked there. Now they don't. That much is the bit we're entitled to.

For public misconduct like this, we should get to know if he was fired (or asked to resign) as opposed to his making the independent decision to find work elsewhere or retire or whatever. We should get to know if he left because the company wanted him gone or because he wanted to be gone.
