Dead or no?

Man lost job for being 'dead'

A Romanian man returned from his holiday to find he had lost his job because he had been declared dead.

Valentin Lefter, 20, from Focsani, said he was shocked because he'd only been away for two weeks.

He returned from his summer break to find a letter from wine-bottling company Prodecam Vanatori.

"The letter, addressed to my wife, apologised for my passing away and said any outstanding payments would be sent to her within the next month," said Lefter.

When he rang company bosses, they apologised and said the letter had been sent out because of a computer error.

But they said he could not have his job back because they had already employed someone in his place, reported local media.

He now plans to sue the company for £10,000.
