The Northern Echo based in North East England has apologized for publishing an obituary for a man named Charlie Donaghy, who is still alive. They described him as a man who was a lifelong fan of grassroots sports. They apparently "checked with three independent sources" to confirm his passing. The paper published an apology and said "We removed the story from our website and social media channels as soon as we were made aware that it was incorrect." His son posted on Facebook "Today the Echo ran a beautiful tribute & obituary about my Dad. But...Dad’s NOT dead!To everyone offering condolences about my Dad...Charlie! He’s NOT died! This is NOT true...God knows where its come from but he’s alive & well."
