UK Man Inherits US$60m Estate after DNA Test
.
Summary:
Normally it would cost about US$60m (~HK$470m) to buy the 1,536-acre Penrose Estate in England, but former care worker Adlard-Rogers had all the luck. A DNA test with his deceased father showed that he was the rightful heir to not only the entire property, but also his family’s trust fund, which allowed him to retire early and receive US$1,300 per week. Green with envy?

Language Enhancement:
Deceased (adj.)(去世的)
同學在填寫個人資料時有機會在表格上看見此字，它是 dead 的委婉版本，相當於中文的「已去世的」。此外，法律界和正式場合一般不會以 the dead person/people 稱呼死者（尤其是不久前離世的人士），而是使用 the deceased，單眾數型態相同。
e.g. In this fictional crime scenario, it seems that the deceased shot another victim before taking his own life.
e.g. Danielle sends her condolences to her deceased relatives overseas. —————————————————
