D22369 0 #1 September 18, 2004 'Dead' dad calls daughter at funeral From correspondents in Toronto 18sep04 DANE Squires was late for his own funeral and scared the wits out of everyone involved. Family and friends had gathered at a Toronto funeral home to mourn the retired welder from Newfoundland, whom they believed had been hit by a train. But as relatives were watching the casket being loaded into a hearse, his daughter Trina was told she had an important phone call. Her father was on the other end. "She totally, totally lost it," Mr Squires' brother Gilbert said. "She said, 'There's a ghost talking to me on the phone. Please somebody try to make sense out of this because I'm losing my mind'." Dane Squires was initially identified as the victim of a commuter train accident. The body was badly mutilated, but fit his description, police said. Authorities have not yet correctly identified the victim. Gilbert Squires said: "He (Dane) went to my sister's house and whoever answered the door fainted." He said his brother did not become aware of the confusion until he read his own obituary in a newspaper. Mr Squire's sister had identified the dead man as her brother after viewing the body at the coroner's office this week, police said. --> I think I would have a heart attack....
