    Oh ok sorry so can I at least post the story or is that not allowed either?
    If not there's no point in this thread: it can be deleted.

    Please post the story. But please do not cut and paste it. There may be legal issues with that also.

    A 59 year old man from Brooklyn who works in the tile and granite business went to Africa on a business trip to Africa where he supposedly was killed in a car accident on Thursday. 2 years ago he went there and was kidnapped so some think that he was murdered this time and didn't die in an accident.Avraham Levi's rabbi tried contacting him by phone on Friday. His phone was answered by someone who told the rabbi that Levy was in the hospital and not doing well. Chesed Shel Emes was notified of Levy’s death on Motzei Shabbos and was able to prevent an autopsy. Now his body is on it's way from Brussels to Freetown where it will be flown to Israel for burial.
    Unfortunately, he wasn't zocheh to any of his children's wedding.
