Woman finds her obituary in local paper
A 35-year-old Swedish woman said she was shocked to find her obituary
in a local newspaper.
"Our dear daughter, sister and friend has left us today in sorrow,"
the obit in the Goteborgs-Posten newspaper in Gothenburg read, The
Local.se reported Wednesday.
"My first thought was that this couldn't be happening and that I had
to call my mother but I couldn't ring her because I knew I'd start
crying," the woman said.
The newspaper said someone claiming to be the woman's father called
in the obituary and a woman who said she was the victim's sister
confirmed the death by phone the same day.
In the future, the paper's editor said people providing obituaries
will have to include a death certificate.
It wasn't clear why the woman was targeted.
