Man Learns He's Dead, Thanks to Blind Ex-Wife

MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian taxi driver got a rude shock when he discovered his blind ex-wife, who thought he had died in an explosion, had him buried in a Moscow cemetery, a newspaper reported on Thursday.

Oleg Lunkov learned of his apparent death when he applied for a passport and was told he died in a bomb blast on Moscow's metro on February 6. His ex-wife thought he was on the train, but being blind, she got her mother to identify the remains.

Hmmmmmm Now remember this was poor Oleg's ex- mother-n-law who identified the remains. And he was buried on his birthday! Something smells funny here. I'm getting the impression that *maybe* there wasn't a good relationship between him and his ex- mother-n-law.
