Finn sued €40 thousand for dismissal due to the death of a cat and then died himself.

A Finnish car mechanic was fired because of sick leave taken after the death of a cat. The man sued his employer for 40 thousand euros, but died before the execution of the sentence. This was reported on January 22 by the Finnish newspaper Iltalehti.

According to the newspaper, the man's cat became very ill and had to be put down. The car mechanic was shocked by the pet's death so much that he took sick leave, providing a doctor's certificate. However, the employer did not accept the document and dismissed the worker.
