Death Charged in Theft From Cemetery

His name is Death, and prosecutors say he stole from a cemetery. Donald Death Jr., 60, of Locust Valley, was arraigned Wednesday on charges he stole nearly $300,000 from the Locust Valley Cemetery Association on Long Island.

Death, who is the chairman and assistant treasurer of the cemetery association, pleaded not guilty to two counts of second-degree grand larceny and one count of third-degree grand larceny for allegedly using cemetery funds for his own purposes, a spokeswoman for Nassau County District Attorney Denis Dillon said in a statement.

Death was released on his own recognizance and was ordered back to court April 6. If convicted he would face up to 15 years in prison.

Now, if I had a last name like that, I would've become a doctor. 8-[

I WAS FRAMED.



It's a Pratchett thing....

Isn't it weird, how some people go into a business related to their surname? :P

[Frog march]

If Death comes knocking at your door,

ask to see some form of identification....

My hospital has a Burn specialist named "Frye" #-o

[TriangleMan]

I knew a doctor in Canada with the last name "Kwak".

[Eta C]

In high school, the father of a friend of my sister's was a doctor. The family name was Butcher. Fortunately he wasn't a surgeon.

[Darkwing]

I have some ancestors named "Death." I thought it was cool until someone told me it was pronounced "Deeth". I have yet to corroborate that yet though...

[Moose]

I knew a cop named Lawless.

[Evan]

And of course there was my lawyer (now retired) by the name of Bill Crook. (I'm not joking)

There was a nurse my dad worked with in the Air Force whose last name was Major. At that time, her rank was also Major, so she was Major Major.

My brother-in-law broke his wrist and had a hand specialist by the name of Dr. Groper.

I once worked in a bank that had an employee named Money

Just like "Catch-22".

I once encountered an administrator at a prep school (a Dean or a Vice-Principal or something) named Mr. DeMerit! I bet the kids were terrified of him.

[AZgazer]

When in the Security Police Academy (USAF) I had an Airman Sargeant in my Squad.

[Laser Jock]

The former head of the physics department here at USAFA was Colonel Head.

I have heard that he has a brother who is also an AF colonel by the name of Richard. That means he was once a major...

When my wife worked for the insurance company, she paid dental claims. She had a dentist named Dr. Payne, and another called Dr. Toothaker. (Not sure how that was spelled!)

[Eta C]

OK, one more. I once worked with a Navy officer named Captain Marvell. Then there was Dr. Cocagne, the dentist I went to when I was in college.

[Ilya]

Once I listened to a radio interview with a psychologist named Dr. Dement.

My dentist (of 30 years) in Lafayette, IN, was Dr. Challgren (pronounced shall grin). Fabulous dentist, my teeth are perfect and no braces.

We have a Captain Kirk, pilot for United. There is also a lady named C. Butz - she should have been a protologist. Now, she just analyzes flight capacity. Everytime I see her name, I think of C. Moore Butz. 8-[

If Death gets put away for 15 years, won't the world be facing a terrible overpopulation problem?

This could help with the over crowded prison system.

My dentists (a husband/wife team) have the last name of Smileys.

Death Takes A Holiday...

[Captain Kidd]

In my hometown we had a family called Deadman. They ran a funeral home.

And of course, they named it... Deadman's Funeral Home. Then the son took over and decided that maybe they ought to rethink the name.

[Gillianren]

if Death goes away, does that mean we get Death of Rats? (SQUEAK.)

and yes, according to the Dorothy L. Sayers novels, most people pronounce the name to rhyme w/teeth, though the character who has the name says it's much more entertaining if you pronounce it to rhyme w/breath.

Our high school physician was Dr. Hazard.

A friend of mine knows a Dr. Death in Scotland.

I knew of a physician named Dr. Coffin, on staff at a hospital I worked at in 1990.

Imagine that: "The physicians will be Dr. Death and Dr. Coffin. Now try to relax for your surgery..."
