Family Comforts Injured Family Member Only To Be Told He Was Misidentified

Story out of L'Isle-Verte, Quebec:

On Thursday, Quebec provincial police were called to a scene in L'Isle-Verte after passers-by found a man seriously injured outside a home, said Sûreté du Québec spokeswoman Audrey-Anne Bilodeau.

"The injured person didn't have any identification on him," Bilodeau said.

"There [were] some people on site and they identified the man as Roland Lafrance."

Lafrance's family was contacted about the accident and were told Lafrance had been transferred to a hospital in Quebec City.

The family said Lafrance had fallen and hit his head at his fishing cabin on Jan. 1, so they believed he had fallen again as a result of a head injury.

Daisy Boucher Lafrance, Roland's niece, says her mother and aunt rushed to the hospital to take care of their brother.

Boucher Lafrance says the condition of the man was such that identifying him was difficult.

It was only when an unsuspecting Roland called his family the next day that they realized the man in the Quebec City hospital bed was a stranger. Cont,
