Terrible headline, it makes you think he died from eating paint.

Terrible headline, it makes you think he died from eating paint.

I'm glad this is the first comment. I've seen variations on this headline in several places now online, along with commenters laughing at what they thought was his cause of death. Says more about the commenters than the old man with diminished senses, methinks...

I’m sure the a-hole that wrote the headline meant to do that.

That’s exactly what I thought the story was. Otherwise, I would not have bothered to click. The fact of a 94 y/o dying would not be considered ‘newsworthy’ in and of itself.

Whatever the actual story is, if it were my Granddad having just died, I wouldn’t even allude to his misadventure of eating a whole carton of paint. I took that to mean she was having one last belly laugh at his expense.

If it was Greek yogurt, there isn’t much difference................
