The fact that it was by gunshot and while he was alone, I'd take to mean it was likely suicide. It's the burden of Ada's true patronage, having Petur back in their lives and the stress that puts on them - perhaps loosely represented by Ingvar being forced to go and repair the broken tractor that Petur left behind for him to deal with - that kills Ingvar. He is both the menacing force that inserts themselves into their lives under secrecy (the conception of sheep Ada in the opening scene during the night) and the ominous specter lurking at the edge of their little slice of isolated paradise. Petur's entry and return to Ada's life is represented by Lamb Dad.In a literal sense this perhaps meant that he'd returned to human-Ada's life at some point to become a part of it.

He tries to hate it and mock it, but can't escape the pull of loving his own child. Petur's initial revulsion to Ada's presence in the home is likely a metaphor for his revulsion at Ingvar accepting his daughter as his own.Perhaps he and Maria had been caught or seen making love on it or something. Additionally, when they are cleaning out the shed and Petur sits in the lounging chair saying he has fond memories of it, Ingvar replies something like "You would". He's coming to grips with the circumstances of raising someone else's child as his own. This is why he is seen crying alone on the tractor shortly after adopting sheep-Ada. Ingvar likely knew of Maria and Petur's infidelity.This is reinforced in the closing scenes when Petur tries to blackmail Maria into having sex with him by implying he'd reveal to Ada her true parentage and her subsequently forcing him to leave on the bus. By killing the sheep mother, and in a more literal sense probably cutting ties with Petur and/or sending him away. When the truth of that became unbearable, she covered it up. Maria took the child from her/him and raised it with Ingvar. Ada's sheep mother is a representation of Petur's fatherhood of Ada.She represented to Ingvar and Maria a beautiful gift and an opportunity to repair their relationship damaged by Maria's infidelity. Ada's Christmas birthday is reflection of a Christ redemption story.The literal story is more likely something like Maria cheated on Ingvar with Petur in the past, had a daugher (Ada), Ingvar adopted and raised her with Maria as his own, but the daughter died and Ingvar committed suicide.
