Woman declared dead gets apology

Ms. Towle, a resident of Kamloops, B.C., was somehow declared dead by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada in September. “This is an unfortunate situation, which we are diligently working to resolve,” said Melissa Hart, a spokeswoman for the government branch. “We have been in direct contact with the affected individual and have let them know that the mistake has been fixed. We have issued a letter of apology and have initiated a detailed internal review of the situation.”
