A lot of media outlets work on such material in preparation for peoples’ passing.

A local paper in Raleigh recently slipped up and published an obituary online of a local figure that’s still alive. It was just one of those things they had on file and it accidentally got out.

So it’s probably something like that.

Yeah I know about the pre-written obits thing for people who’re about to croak. I just didn’t expect a complete package within 3 or 4 days.
