An 81-year-old man in Sweden got the shock of his life when the newspaper he was reading reported that he was dead.
Sven-Olof Svensson was reading his local paper, the Jonkopings-Posten, and came across his own obituary.
The obit had been submitted to
the paper by his 90-year-old sister after he had been admitted to the
hospital Christmas Eve for feeling "unwell," the New York Daily News
reports.
The sister spoke with doctors but
misunderstood their diagnosis. She assumed Svensson had already died
and started writing up an obituary about her brother with his friend,
Lars Faltskog.
To put it mildly, Faltskog was
surprised when he showed up to the hospital on Jan. 3 to collect
Svensson's personal items. Instead he saw his not-so-dead friend alive and kicking.
Svensson is seeing the humor of the situation.
"It's understandable to me that
there may have been a mistake, even if it was fatal, in this case,"
Svensson said, according to theLocal.SE. "According to my sister, she
rang up the doctors and talked about me and, as she understood it, I had
died. It's clear that she was shocked."
