I would be run out of town on rails. Still, let's check the score card.

Truth: 1
Fiction: 0


CALEDONIA, Mich. (AP) -- A couple sat by their daughter's hospital bedside for weeks after an auto accident until she came out of a coma and they realized she was not their daughter after all, but another blond-haired young woman injured in the wreck. Their own daughter, it turned out, was dead and buried.

In a tragic mix-up, one family had been incorrectly told their daughter had died in the April 26 crash in Indiana, and another was erroneously informed their daughter was in a coma.

The two young women - both students at Indiana's Taylor University - looked remarkably alike, and the one in a coma suffered facial swelling, broken bones and cuts and bruises, and was in a neck brace.

I know its a horrible thing but I cant stop myself.

woah.

but totally could make a very interesting comic.What you would want in a comic is enough facial and memory damage that the truth isn't revealed for years, and it is unraveled in a total bizarre and cryptic manner.
