Yawa!! Man’s Wife and Girlfriend Place Obituaries of His Death in Same Newspaper(Photo)

Commotion broke as two obituaries for the same man, using the same photograph, appear side-by-side in a newspaper. This is no printing error

But before anyone fires the person responsible for publishing the obits at the Press of Atlantic City newspaper, rest assured that it was completely intentional.

Leroy Bill Black, from New Jersey in the USA, died at home on August 2 after losing his battle lung cancer.

Upon further inspection, you'll notice that one describes him as being survived by his 'loving wife Bearetta Harrison Black' and the other says he's survived by 'long-time girlfriend Princess Hall' (sic).

It seems his girlfriend might have also had a little nickname for him, as she names him 'Leroy "Blast" Black' rather than 'Bill'.

She might have a bit more cash to spend, as hers is a little longer - but despite having more words it completely fails to reference his wife. Awkward!!

Thankfully they aren't trying to throw him separate funerals, as both obits mention the same details.

A spokesperson for the funeral homes told PhillyVoice that the separate obituaries were printed because "the wife wanted it one way and the girlfriend wanted it another way." 

Apparently everyone was aware that they were doubling up, so it seems the wife and girlfriend do know about each other. One thing's for sure, Leroy was a very well-loved man.
