I agree it is possible, as could the money being stolen from the body, but this, from Gary's original post, suggests that it was actually on the deceased and not stolen from him prior to the event: "he died with thousands of pounds and cheques on him , the press mentions the money" He also says he has the press cuttings. The distribution of the money would have been a private matter unless it wasn't the deceased's money in the first place. However, had the latter been the case, the press would have made mention of it, I'm sure. The press had a bit more respect for people's privacy then than they do now. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Greinton and Clutton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk
