Look at the examples below:
A friend of him had given him the bad news.
A friend of his has given him the bad news.
I think the first one is incorrect but I am not sure why. Can someone explain with syntax and grammar? Additionally, we use 'My friend' Or 'Friend of mine' ( where 'mine' is the possessive pronoun of 'I'). Is there any such form possible for "HE"?
