It would be hard to make this week's Midtown Manhattan shooting any more devastating. But Fortune found a way. Among the four murder victims in Monday's rampage was Wesley LePatner, a top real estate executive at Blackstone Inc. and a forty-three-year-old mother of two. On Tuesday, Fortune ran a bizarre, disrespectful, and mercifully short obituary about LePatner. Under the unfortunate subhead "FORTUNE INTELLIGENCE," the obituary: • misstated LePatner's age; • put the gunman's name into the lede; • included a graf about his football injury; • linked to a New York congressman's tweet, without offering evidence the two knew each other; • published this photo caption: "An image of Wesley LePatner"; • and added this line, which is reprinted here verbatim: He honored her sense of civics, as a ". The most informative part of the obit is the editor's note at the end: "For this story, Fortune used generative Al to help with an initial draft. An editor verified the accuracy of the information before publishing."

When obituaries go awry.
