That follows a heart attack some years' back but I've never heard of that condition.
How horrible to have to have a condition like that!
I do know of something similar to the OP though, not quite the same but equally distressing. A friend of mine, whose husband had died, and after her notifying utility companies about this, received a letter of notification addressed to "Mr. & Mrs. xxxxxxx" and going on to say how sorry the company was to hear that news. Not exactly very sympathetic though was it!
