High-Tech Death

Investigators in Munich, Germany, are stumped by the sudden appearance of more than 1,000 small stickers on grave markers in three different cemeteries, the Associated Press reports.

The stickers feature a QR code that, when scanned, reveals the name of the person in the grave and the location within the cemetery.

"The stickers were put both on decades-old gravestones and very new graves that so far only have a wooden cross," said police spokesperson Christian Drexler.

Police are investigating property damage as well, because when removed, the stickers leave discoloration.
