British radio station accidentally 'kills' King Charles on air

A British radio station, Radio Caroline, accidentally broadcast false news of King Charles III's death last May after an employee played pre-recorded emergency files out of curiosity. The error triggered the national anthem and sixteen minutes of silence for listeners, violating Ofcom's accuracy standards. The employee involved panicked and fled the scene upon realizing the mistake, while the remote host remained unaware of the broadcast disruption for nearly half an hour before issuing an official apology.
