Oh no! I am sure this doesn't happen, what would be the point.

My Dad died in hospital on Monday morning. The nurse phoned and said he was very poorly and would not last an hour. When we arrived 50 or so minutes later she said he had just died.
Yesterday 3 people told me the same happened to them and it's a hospital policy to say this even though your relative is actually dead when you get that first call. Can this be true?
