Odd wording to say boy died, however mother was killed when they met the same fate.

It really winds me up when they do that too much in articles. They’ll start throwing in phrases like “the singer” after they have used their name once and then “entertainer” and then “Mancunian” if they’re from Manchester and then it gets ridiculous with something like “the crooner”.

almost like... not the way a human would word it. do they just have bots scan the article and generate the headlines? or they feed it a news alert like from Reuters, for the bot to paraphrase and generate the whole thing ¯_(ツ)_/¯
