The hormonal ramblings of an Art Mama.

Is it ghoulish to routinely scan the pages of the newspaper obituaries for one's own namesake?

Though it's misleading to use the word routinely, I confess that I have on more than one occasion perused the columns of Births & Deaths looking for another Jennifer Linton amongst either set. I haven't, as of yet, discovered one -- either newly arrived or dearly departed.

That is, until now...

"RE-APPEAL FOLLOWING DEATH OF JENNIFER LINTON
27th October 2005

This is an update into the death of Jennifer Linton, the 29-year-old woman who was found dead at an address in Kent Close, Aldridge on 17 October.

The 28-year-old local man previously arrested for murder has been released without charge today.

DCI Balgeet Sidhu, said: "We know that a number of people visited the address between September 15 and 20 and we are in the process of identifying these individuals.

"We urge these people to come forward and we want to hear from anyone who has any information about the incident or the people who visited the address over this six day period."

I feel vaguely ill at ease that Jennifer Linton's murderer is still at large, a fact which suggests that I am superstitious as well as ghoulish.

that is very creepy.....it creeps me out when i meet someone who has the same name as me, nevermind see their obituary. My grandmother used to say that the first thing she did in the morning when she woke up would be to check the obituaries for her name to see if she had died yet. She thought it was funny.
