Ooh, I've already found my step-2xg-grandfather being called as a witness at an inquiry into the mysterious death of a baby, who seems to have shared his (uncommon) middle name.

Update, having read it all the way through - That is shocking and has completely changed my image of him.

Yes, these newspaper articles are a bit of a mixed bag. I have a very similar case, which I would rather not have found.
