Wife, GF publish ‘clashing’ obituaries for New Jersey man
Two women fighting for the love of one man published separate obituaries of their sweetheart who passed away on Tuesday.
Leroy “Blast” Bill Black departed at 55 after succumbing to “cancer of the lungs due to fiberglass exposure.” The man, who hails from Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, USA, was laid to rest on Sunday at Atlantic City.
However, readers of the daily paper Press of Atlantic City noticed that Black had two different obituaries published on Friday.

In the first obituary, Black is survived by his “loving wife, Bearetta Harrison Black” together with his son.
In the second obituary just under the first one, it is his “longtime girlfriend, Princess Hall” who survives him. It also mentioned more names of his relatives and his previous job as a fiberglass technician.
An employee from Greenidge Funeral Homes mentioned to local news site PhillyVoice that Black had two endearing obituaries because “the wife wanted it one way, and the girlfriend wanted it another way.” Gianna Francesca Catolico
