Girls learn of brother’s death on Facebook

AUSTRALIAN twins Angela and Maryanne Vourlis learned their teenage brother had died in a car crash from reading Facebook, after a police delay in informing the family, a newspaper reported yesterday.

The women logged on to the site on Sunday expecting to see birthday messages – not knowing that their 17-year-old brother Bobby, his friend Chris Naylor, 19, and another teenager had been killed.

Instead, they were baffled and upset by what friends had posted.
