A member of my close family died in a crash

Someone drove into her car. The press were soon on the doorstep and wouldn't leave. They were laughing and joking lacking any respect at all.

They told me to let them in the house and tell them all our family details or they would make them up. I asked them to leave us alone and respect our privacy as we had just lost a loved one a couple of hours before and we were very upset.

That evening we were front page news in the local paper and all the details were completely wrong and made up... which caused even more distress to the family.
