Newspaper deletes glowing obituary of Utah man accused of killing his family

Obit made no mention that Michael Haight shot his estranged wife, their five children and his mother-in-law before killing himself

A Utah newspaper apologized after publishing a glowing obituary of a man accused of killing seven members of his family in a murder-suicide. The piece was also deleted.

On 4 January, Michael Haight of Utah, 42, shot his estranged wife, Tausha Haight, 40; their five children, aged four to 17; and Haight's mother-in-law, Gail Earl, 78. Haight then shot himself, police said.
