Newspaper apologizes for adding LOL to dead man’s photo caption

Twitter user Barry Taylor shared a very unfortunate photo caption error made by the Western Mail of Wales:

Looks like the Western Mail has sunk to unacceptable new lows. Time the editor started actually editing. #westernfail twitter.com/Gwennwys/statu…

— Barry Taylor (@Gwennwys) August 9, 2012

As reported by the U.K.’s Press Gazette, the tweet spread quickly. A spokesman for the paper’s parent company told the Gazette:

The caption error in today’s Western Mail is under internal investigation. We apologise for any offence this error may have caused.
