Man visiting mother’s grave ‘panicked’ after noticing cemetery’s mistake

A Milwaukee man says he was shocked to see a stranger buried next to his mother in the cemetery plot reserved for his father, who is still alive.

"I just can't make sense of this," R.C. Smith told WITI. "I approached the mound and immediately I knew that somebody was in my dad's space there."

It is a mistake that Smith said he wouldn't wish on anybody.

Smith went to visit his mother's grave at Union Cemetery in Milwaukee, only to find out the shared plot -- meant for his father -- had fresh dirt on top of it.

"My dad is still alive! Ninety years old, much alive and well," Smith said.

Smith called the manager for answers and told them:

"Dad is not dead, he's not dead. At the same time I'm kind of panicking because I'm like, 'What's going on?
