That poor woman I cant even imagine the horror they all went through.

 

[SuiteDisney]

OMG... that is devastating. I can't even imagine how I would react.

ugh, how awful! It sounds like a bad episode of Six Feet Under!

 

[kejoda]

That is horrible. How can something like this happen?

 

[NHAnn]

How on EARTH can something like that happen? Unless the boys looked SO much alike... .....but...........I don't know, I can't fathom this.... bizarre....and horrible for those involved........

 

[Jeafl]

How terrible!


I just don't understand how the parents misidentified their own child--it doesn't make sense. Wouldn't that mean that the real dead boy's family would have been visiting the wrong child in the hospital too? Do they look that much alike? Very strange.

How horrible! I can't imagine how terrible that would be. The victim's body must've been too disfigured to positively ID. How awful for that family.

OMG! This is awful!

 

[helenabear]

OMG!!! That is so awful

 

[cotye]

YIKES!!

The boy probably had bad head injuries, which caused a lot swelling. What I want to know, is where is the boy they thought had died? Weird story.

 

[Sheree Bobbins]

What a heartbreaking story for one family, a day of celebration for another. So sad.

Olaf, the boy they thought had died is in the hospital...the dead boy's parents were keeping a vigil over him. On Headline News, they said that there were no disfiguring injuries.

"Grubs' family, who had misidentified the boy's body, rushed to a local hospital where Grubs, not Hylemon, lay unconscious in critical condition from injuries suffered in the crash."


Didn't his parents wonder where he was all the time he was in the hospital and misidentified??? How strange!!
