If your name is Kozupsky he could be.
"Jeremiah was just one of the 1,521 other passengers that died on April 15, 1912."

He was one of the other passengers? How could he be two people at once?!
"Speaking of how the loss affected her family, Mary Woods explained that, "Jeremiah's mother was at a removal several days later ..." What's a "removal"? Is it an Irish wake without the corpse or something else?
