I'm using version 05 and have just lost my mowhawk called 'Alfred' However, he dies, waved at me, walked off and into the wardrobe - or so it looked anyway, but his body didn't disappear!! Maizie grieved in the normal way bless her heart, still after a few mins of her wandering round, Alf's remains haunted her bed.
I switched the game off and restarted after a few mins, only to find TWO Alf's lying side by side on the bed.

Both of them got up, both of them waved at me and both of them disapepared into the wardrobe. Still two bodies remained.
By this time it was becoming a little spooky! I switched players this time and after a while I hesitated at switching back in case I found three of him this time! There were STILL two bodies of poor old Alf, but after a few mins they did eventually disappear.
I'm not sure what's going on here. The computer was not needing a restart,I was not running more than this game at the time and have had no other such problems before.
Anyone else had a peep that obviously loved his family so much he refused to 'go'?
