When De Santo opened the door that Saturday night, Michael was smiling.

“Nina, I can’t stay long,” he said, pausing in the doorway. “I just wanted to stop by and say thank you for everything.”

They chatted a bit more before Michael left and De Santo went home. On Sunday she received a strange call from a salon employee. Michael’s body had been found the previous morning — at least nine hours before she talked to him at her shop. He had committed suicide.

The literature on this phenomenon is fairly extensive – one may write off at least some portion of these stories, presumably, to the experiencers being mistaken about when they actually saw or spoke to the deceased, particularly in the wake of the shock of hearing of a relative’s or close friend’s death.

Still…interesting. What do you think?
