"They [had] just loaded Dane's body in the hearse and the funeral director comes and says, 'Somebody would like to speak to you on the phone,' and Dane's daughter Trina took the phone," said Gilbert Squires.

"This was Dane on the phone, so she actually thought that she was dead or talking to a ghost or something and just about lost her mind."

Dane Squires didn't realize there was any problem until he read his own obituary in the newspaper

I remember hearing about that one in Winnipeg...actually a day or two before someone near where I was working died, fortunately not in his home or no one would likely have known as he lived in a run down old shack...creepy...

that is really weird...

however I am disappointed by the lack of humorous google adds on this page.

Edit:
(right after I posted this the adds for OSC randomness changed to an ad for "GORILLAS (national geographic pictures)"
