This morning the Boston Herald ran a story+obituary on the death of
a mob informant in a hit-and-run accident. There was a slight error
in the report. The dead man was a different person by the same name.

This is the wire service version based on the original Herald report:
<http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2009/12/25/Mob-informant-found-dead-in-snow/UPI-35361261755176/>
This is the new version on the Herald web site after the holiday
staff rewrote it and deleted all the user comments pointing out
the error. Note the URL.

It looks like the Herald also misspelled the last name of a man who
came forward as the driver in this accident:
