Kent, Washington Man's Obituary Blames Seahawks For His 'Untimely Demise'

Sometimes sports are taken a little too seriously.

Case in point: The Seattle Seahawks didn't win the Super Bowl after what many thought was a heartbreaking ending -- and one man's family is blaming the loss for his death.

Michael Sven Vedvik's obituary really is an odd one.

He reportedly died of a heart attack suddenly after the game. There is a line in the obituary that reads, "We blame the Seahawks lousy play call for Mike's untimely demise."

If the family is just looking for attention, they got it. Still I don't think you can blame the loss of a football GAME, emphasis on game, for the death of a loved one.
