Vicar Max quest bugged

[Lochnzz]

Hi i have encountered a strange event "bug" here.  I met Vicar Max, got the quest for finding the book for him, completed that quest and turned it in,  and then accepted him onto my crew. He says that he will go to the ship. Later i completed the quest where i have to choose which place to send the electric power to. I then chose to support the Botanical Lab. Later i went back to Edgewater to retrive the power core, this caused  the town to turn hostile and attack me, i then wiped out the town as a result. BUT in this encounter, for some strange reason the NPC Vicar Max was still in Edgewater and i accidently killed him. I just thought that this was some strange bug and dident think any more of it. Because when i got back to my ship i could still go into the player option and access him as a companion. But now at this time i am at the Groundbreaker trying to complete the quests there, and strangly i have Vicar Max still following me as a companion, but.... when i enter the quest log it says that the quest called "The empty man" is Botched because Vicar Max is dead...?!
