When Real Life Is Weirder Than A Reality Show
-
Dead: George Dryden, a Canadian guy, at 47. Who? He's the guy who spent most of his final years trying to prove that former Prime Minister John Diefenbaker was his real father. He looked a lot like Diefenbaker, and five years ago, a cousin told him that there were rumors that the Prime Minister had an affair with the guy's mother. And the dad he previously thought was his father was proven by DNA testing NOT to be his father. But the battle to prove who WAS his father led to a family fissure and drinking that even he recognized as out of control and a form of suicide. It wasn't just the Diefenbaker saga that led to this, but it didn't help. If you suspected that a famous person was your real parent, though, would you become obsessed? (Not that you can imagine how you'd react, but try.) (CBC)
