Bizarre, Just Plain Bizarre
I got the strangest trick and treat ever yesterday when one of my dad's old college buddies called me to ask me if I'd heard the rumor. What rumor? That my dad had died. That was the trick (except it wasn't intended to be a trick. People thought it was true.) The whole story is so bizarre that I will have to collect my thoughts and the details for a proper post sometime soon. The treat is that my dad is alive.

Alton Delmore once wrote a book. "Truth is Stranger than Publicity"
In this case truth is stranger than lies as well. I did further research into this tale and the way your Dad figured it our was exactly what happened. A trap laid 40 years ago for himself and it finally caught him. Poetic justice I believe it's called.
The trambone.

Glad you visited. I need two details for my write up:
Exactly what you say to my dad when you see him, and exactly what he says to you when he sees you (or gets you on the phone). I want to get this right. Please e-mail it to me at: sarah.cooley@gmail.com
