File this tidbit from the Baltimore Sun under Big Time Oops:
CorrectionI don't remember my criminal law class very well; is it legal to kill someone if the newspaper has already reported that he's dead?
Originally published April 2, 2002An obituary in Saturday's editions of The Sun reported the death of Ralph D. Chester of Millers Island. Mr. Chester is not dead.
Mr. Chester was reported to have died by a family member, who called The Sun to provide material for the obituary. The Sun later determined that the family member who called has been estranged from Mr. Chester for several years.
The Sun regrets the error.
