Co-signed auto loan with friend

Friend passed away, car surrendered, and bank sent deficiency notice for ~$10k

What I wish I knew
"To be more cautious with debt and to have a plan for unexpected situations"
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't co-sign loans for friends, and have a financial safety net in place"
