Wow, that's a bad story. It reminds me of the groom, who was mistakenly shot to death by police on his wedding day in NY. Similarly, Bill Clinton's father was killed in a car accidsnt when he was driving to Arkansas to pick up his wife, who was several months pregnant with the future president.

About 20 years ago a group of friends was hosting a surprise birthday party for a young lawyer in the Harrisburg area. He was to meet them at a bar 20 minutes away at 6pm on a Friday evening. The young guy was killed in a car accident on his way to the party. The group stayed out for hours, was disappointed the guy didn't show up, and didn't learn about the tragedy until late that night.
