What a tragic case of mistaken identity

Mistaken ID stuns crash victims' families

One family was told their daughter was dead. Another endured the uncertainty of their daughter's recovery from a coma, detailing her progress on a blog.

Now they have found out that the girls, who were remarkably similar in appearance and were in the same car accident, were in fact mistakenly identified...meaning one family has found their loved one alive, and the other must deal with the crushing certainty that the girl whom they thought was making progress actually died in the crash.

Details can be found at the blog for Laura VanRyn. The families have my deepest condolences.
