    Pretty weird that.

    I wonder if upon learning the news, the person in question had a bit of an existential crisis? Or maybe they just found it funny.

    The Chron once announced me as dead from a smack overdose, so I do have some experience of this.

    Aye. No idea where they got my name from. The Chron apologised profusely, but said they weren’t allowed to reveal their source, so I’ll never know…

    I actually remember you telling me that… all I could think was “I see dead people”

    ...and got kicked out for disrupting the minute's silence by shouting "I'm not dead" à la Monty Python.

    Pretty sure it was an OD. Wish I’d saved the original article. All I have is the apology :)
