How to determine reason why user task has ended

Hi

How can I differentiate that a user task has ended because of an interrupting timer event vs. normal user completion? If I add an execution listener ('end' event name) to the user task element (sample xml below), I cannot find a way to determine why the task has ended, i.e. interrupted vs. normal completion. The 'deleteReason' property on the ExecutionEntity has always been null.

<process id="singleTimeEventUserTaskProcess">
        <startEvent id="start"/>
        <userTask id="userTask"/>
        <endEvent id="end"/>

        <boundaryEvent id="timer" attachedToRef="userTask" cancelActivity="true" parallelMultiple="false">
            <timerEventDefinition>
                <timeDuration>PT3S</timeDuration>
            </timerEventDefinition>
        </boundaryEvent>

        <sequenceFlow sourceRef="start" targetRef="userTask"/>
        <sequenceFlow sourceRef="userTask" targetRef="end"/>
        <sequenceFlow sourceRef="timer" targetRef="end"/>
    </process>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks in advance for any hints on how I can find out why a user task has ended.

Could someone knowledgable with the insights of Activiti give me some hints on how to solve my question. I studied the sources, I did some debugging, but I just cannot figure it out…
