Police told parents son had died when he was alive

A mix-up which saw police wrongly tell one family their son had died in a car crash and another that theirs was badly injured left relatives grieving a teenager for three weeks - when he was alive in hospital the whole time. The staggering blunder meant the family of one boy, 18-year-old Joshua Johnson, spent Christmas believing he was under sedation in hospital - only to be told he in fact passed away in the tragic smash. Meanwhile, another family discovered the son they have been grieving for the past three weeks, 17-year-old Trevor Wynn, is in fact still alive.
