Bereavement during interview process

I was invited to a screening interview at a well known tech firm last week (the recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn, I hadn’t even applied for the role). I’ve just been made redundant and am job hunting, so I had nothing to lose and everything to gain. My mother’s health had been deteriorating but I powered through it the call anyway before rushing back. I wasn’t at my best needless to say. Sadly my mother passed away hours later.

Should I inform the recruiter about what happened, or would this be too personal?
