What's with this from Wikipedia?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skip_Caray


"On August 3, 2008, the Atlanta Braves announced that Caray had died. His
wife, Paula, reported to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that on Sunday
afternoon when she thought her husband was napping, she looked out the
window and saw a bird feeder not hanging where it should be and thought it
had been blown down by the wind. When she stood up, she noticed her husband
lying on the ground next to the bird feeder."


The good Lord gave us a finite number of heartbeats, and I'm damned if I'm
going to use up mine running up and down a street.

Is there some problem with that statement? It appears to have come
from here:

One of two things. Either the original reports got some of the
details wrong - not surprising if it's so - or Skip was napping on the
patio next to the bird feeder.

I can see how the Braves could've made the mistake between "in his sleep"
and her thinking he was taking a nap. What I don't understand is how they
managed to have the service so quickly - though there were conflicting
reports about it's time as well.

Scott, what are you talking about when you say "managed to have" the
service so quickly? It isn't until Monday at 4PM.

I'm just a little sensitive these days - it's that time zone thingy again.
It just screws up everything.
