This line sounds a little strange

A line from today’s Associated Press story/article on the death of former N.C. State basketball player Lorenzo Charles:

A message left on a phone listed to Charles wasn’t immediately returned Monday night.

A bus accident took Charles’ life on Monday afternoon and the message wasn’t returned on Monday night……..I wonder why? Sort of weird, wouldn’t you say???

The article/story was about his death and they are wondering why a phone message wasn’t returned????

The man died on Monday afternoon! This is crazy or maybe I have gone crazy here……
