Dear John, you’re dead

- By Karen Rockett

A GRANDAD got a letter saying he had died, sent by a bungling insurance firm.

Phoenix Life wrote to John Wilson’s ex- wife Doreen, who he divorced in 2000, to “update our record and proceed”.

Mr Wilson, 83, of Abergele, Conwy, who opened the note, said: “I’m fully alive. I want to know why this happened.”

A spokesman for the life insurer admitted the blunder and said the firm would send him compensati­on.

“We are sorry for the upset this caused,” he said.
