Man pens own obit, says only regret was not seeing end of Coronation Street
COLE HARBOUR, N.S. — Shannon Leonard Churchill left the world with a single regret: not knowing how Coronation Street will end.
The 44-year-old East Coast man makes the quirky claim in an obituary he wrote for himself before dying from cancer “peacefully at home” on Jan. 31.
“Stuff has been trying to kill me for years and it was colon cancer that finally got me,” he wrote.
In his mostly light-hearted tribute, Churchill said his life was always about the things he was able to do, rather than what he had accumulated and that he had few regrets other than wanting to know how the long-running British soap opera concludes.
