Good Lord!!

I'm sure this will turn up in the 'News of the Weird' section somewhere but it's coming from The Mirror, apparently the best newspaper on the web. Here's the entire article:

WINE PUT IN COFFIN

AN alcoholic mum was granted her dying wish to be buried with the £2.50 bottle of wine she never managed to drink.

Beverley Anne Burnett, 37, who died of multiple organ failure last week, downed at least six bottles of Lambrusco a day.

Her parents, Pat, 62, and Ron Burnett, 68, agreed to her final wish because they said "she would never forgive us if we didn't".

The mum-of-three's family, of Bradford, also hope by revealing her wish they will warn others about the dangers of alcohol abuse.

Daughter Michaela, 16, said: "Seeing Mum in hospital would put you off drink for life."
Multiple Organ Failure?!? Wow.

I guess there's no medical term for organs quitting in protest.

what is even more amazing is that Lambrusco has next to no alcohol (generally) You would have to drink 5 bottles just to get a bit piddled. I am asuming it is the alcohol that did 'er in; and not the rest of the 'wine'.
