澳大利亚一位老人日前在自己的轿车中去世，当时他的车停在了墨尔本郊外一家购物中心的停车场上，那里的管理人员在这种情况下仍向死者发出了停车罚单，该国有关方面10月21日特地就此事向老人的家属表示歉意。
据路透社10月21日报道，按照当地警方的说法，这名现年71岁且被认为患有严重疾病的老人于9天前失踪，后来人们在停放于墨尔本郊外一家购物中心停车场上的汽车里找到了他的尸体。而这具尸体被发现的前一天，停车场管理人员将一张停车罚单放到了这辆汽车上。
该市市长保罗·丹纳姆在接受当地媒体采访时说：“这的确是一出悲剧。他的家庭一定会为此而感到极度悲伤，我们也特地向他们表示由衷的歉意。”
Australian authorities have apologized to the family of an elderly man who was given a parking ticket while he lay dead in his car in a suburban shopping center.
The 71-year-old man, known to be seriously ill, went missing nine days ago and his body was found in his car in a shopping mall car park in a Melbourne suburb, police said.
A parking ticket had been placed on the car the day before his body was found.
"It's just tragic. It must be just so sad for the family and we extend our sincere sympathies to them," local mayor Paul Denham told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio on Friday.
"The circumstances surrounding the location of this poor fellow must make it all the harder for the family. It is simply a case of the parking officer not noticing."
