The parents of a British teen, who died suddenly two months ago, received a disturbing letter from the girl's high school saying she needs to improve her attendance or can't go to the prom, the Manchester Evening News reported.

The letter said Megan Gillan's attendance was 60.4 percent and the school requires its students to keep a 92 percent attendance record.

"I screamed when I first saw it," her mother Margaret Gillan told the newspaper. If they want her to attend that much I'll take Megan's remains. It's disgusting."

Gillan was found dead Jan. 19 in her bedroom at her parent's home. The letter was dated March 16.

Well I don't think dead people should be allowed to go to the prom either.

They're just mad because the 60% attendance is probably why she's dead. 12 years after my mother died, I get junk mail for her, and mail from religions she never was. 18 years after moving into this house, I get mail for the previous tenants.

Clearly the letter was some sort of administrative snafu. probably a computer thing. Nonetheless, it is highly insensitive and very regrettable to have happened.
