A US reporter named Sara Welch apparently managed to cause quite a commotion online when she told viewers about her trying to obtain a comment from a man on his own death.
The blunder occurred when Welch was reporting live from Anaheim, California, reporting about a fatal pursuit which took place in the city.
"We tried to reach out to the man who died in this pursuit, but they were unavailable for comment," Welch said.

Well...ghosting, anyway.
