[edit]

It is the same story that was on July 31. It already told of his death. British doctor killed while on honeymoon. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 19:16, 3 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

From the article there "Catherine died on the scene, while Ben is in a critical condition in Hospital." So no, it didn't say he had died, because he hadn't. Trust me, I saw it on the news not that long ago when they brought him back to the UK, it was on TV just hours after his plane touched down.

Then why is the older article titled that he was killed...did he die, then rise from the dead to be news again 3 days later? :-P DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 19:27, 3 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
His wife was the doctor that died. At the time of going to press, Britain does not require a penis to become a doctor. Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 19:29, 3 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
Sorry...I was reading the headlines. The newer article, this one, should clarify as to who...IMO both titles currently imply the same people, even if doctor is unisex. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 19:31, 3 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
Don't worry... If the death weren't so horrible we'd all be laughing at this. Title-wise, how about 'British man dies five days after wife in honeymoon shooting'? still leaves it unclear if both or only one died in the shooting, though, or if they are seperate.
