Council wrongly tell man he is dead

[Aethelwulf]

You'd hope a bit more research would be done before sending out a letter like this:

Norfolk council sorry for wrongly telling man he is dead (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-65002430).

South Norfolk Council told Stuart Dobson, 77, it was "sorry to hear" he had died and informed him he could get a council tax exemption.

He got an exemption so it wasn’t all bad Wolf.

Was the council worker who sent the letter a conspiracy theorist by any chance?
