Quote:
Energy firm Npower has sacked one of its sales advisors after a widow complained her dead husband's signature had been forged.
He was dismissed after the company investigated a forgery of John Sykes' signature some months after his death.
Mr Sykes' widow Lorraine, 39, of Fordham, Cambs, apparently discovered it after British Gas wrote saying it was sorry Mr Sykes had switched firms.
The salesman, who has not been named, could face prosecution.
Police said they would investigate if they received a complaint.
The forged document gave the go-ahead for Npower to replace British Gas as a power supplier to Mr Sykes' former home in Dewsbury, Yorkshire.
The transfer document is understood to have been signed in June - several months after Mr Sykes' death.

Hard sell? And we thought NTL sales people were bad
Well done NPower I say, hope he gets prosecuted too.
