Hi there, I caught these sentences from 1-Sept Eastenders, but i don’t seem to understand them thoroughly… it would be very great if someone can help me understand the meaning of these lines. Thanks.

Crashing down
Reality’ll come crashing down and you’ll feel you’re drowning. -
Taped off
The police have got the place taped off. -
Stuck at
All I know is I’m stuck at Dot’s with her treating me like a teenager. -
Him being murdered and you hidding in the bathroom.
a) Why use ‘Him being murdered’ instead of ‘He was being murdered’? is it common to start a sentence with ‘HIM’?
b) why there is no verb like ‘is, was, are, were’ there in the sentence?
Thanks in advance!
