What scum
CNN.com - Man admits hoax death e-mails - Jan 3, 2005
This cretin got the email addresses of relatives of people missing from the tsunami. He then posed as a Foreign Office employee, sending messages telling them their relatives were dead. Why would anyone do such a thing?

Maybe - I'm just trying to think charitably here - he thought he could provide some kind of closure for their grief?
Although I have to admit it reminds me of how my mother, irritated by people who dialed the wrong number, would snap "He's not here, he died last week!" and bang the phone down. A short fuse, Mom had.
