Dead Man Tells Tales

A 59-year-old Utah man decided that the best way to confess his trespasses in life was to write his own obituary.

According to reports, "Friends and family of Val Patterson learned Sunday that the man they thought held a doctorate from the University of Utah received the degree thanks to a paperwork mistake and that he never even graduated. Patterson pasted away on July 10th of cancer and apparently wrote the account of his life in first person sometime last fall."

But besides having not graduated from the University of Utah Patterson also claimed that he stole a safe from  an Inn back in 1971.  According to his widow the accounts are all true.  The obituary column can be found in the Salt Lake City Tribune.  For more on this story please go to:
