We have had a similar headline here. But I am not sure whether it is true, or just an urban legend, or what someone once said to me as I told him an anecdote: "I don't think it is true. But the point is, it well could be true." The headline was: "Murder! BILD spoke at first with the dead!"

BILD is the German equivalent to THE SUN.

I just got kicked out of a karaoke bar for singing Danger Zone five times.
