24 hours after printing a page obituary they have printed an apology. Thier excuse is false. One of his close relatives found out about his demise from a friend in the USA who had sent him a link to The Online story. It’s difficult because you don’t want to add to thier Distress but I think the Echo should be hauled over the coals.
I know for a fact the paper prints many inaccurate stories . Being a reporter there appears to involve scrolling through Twitter and similar outlets.
