TOPPLING TOMBSTONE KILLS MAN

A man was killed when a headstone fell on him Monday morning. Police in Throop, Pennsylvania (outside Scranton), say the 74-year-old man was killed when his mother-in-law’s headstones at St. Joseph’s Cemetery fell on his head. The cemetery caretaker says the man and his wife were decorating a family grave for Easter. The caretaker at the cemetery says that because the ground is beginning to thaw, the bases of headstones often sink and the headstones can be easy to tip. The caretaker says the couple visits several times a year decorating their family gravesite, then saying prayers and leaving.
* There’s only one word that can describe this tragedy: convenient.
* It killed him – stone dead.
* I believe this is what they mean by ‘grave danger’.
* The weight must really crush someone flat. Now I see where they got the idea for Tombstone pizza.
* They say styrofoam never degrades. Maybe it’s time to switch to styrofoam tombstones.
* The cemetery caretaker can explain it all he wants – I know a paranormal event when I read about it.
* Come on. This is like a scene from “The Omen.”
