(AP) – Today's dispatch from the Irony Department: Beverly Hills police responded to a report of a body slumped over in the driver's seat of a hearse parked near the Beverly Hills Hotel at about 3pm yesterday—and discovered that the hearse's driver apparently died while transporting a body to a funeral. The woman appears to have died of natural causes, with no weapons or evidence of violence discovered. Coroner's investigators will make a final determination of the cause of death.
