This just in from our London bureau
A woman died on the way to a cemetery when a traffic accident hurled her husband’s coffin against the back of her neck.

Police say 67-year old Marciana Silva Barcelos was in the front passenger seat of the hearse when the accident occurred on Monday in the southern Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul.

Mrs Barcelos died instantly.

The driver of hearse and Mrs Barcelos’s son suffered minor injuries.

Her 76-year-old husband, Josi Silveira Coimbra, died on Sunday of a heart attack while dancing at a party.

You have to wonder– is life just a series of random uncontrolled events?  Or are there karmic forces at work here?  Someone breakout the actuarial tables on this one.  What are the odds of dying on the way to a family member’s funeral?  More importantly what are the odds of being killed by a dead person? Some people read that story and think how horrible.  Others read it and wonder if something more supernatural was going on.

  1. I just wonder if this will interfere at all with my plan to die in my 80s under a 20something bit of stuff. If I have to die why not die during sex. I like the idea of ruining someone’s day.

  2. Excellent Blog Keep it up and the blog !
