That really sucks.
I had a similar situation happen to me several years ago. I had just started a part time job working for a call center. On my second night the calls we were making were to people in Florida asking them to contact their congressmen and urge them to oppose a cigarette sales tax increase that had been purposed. Obviously the company I was working for had been hired by the tobacco company.
I call a number and a woman answers the phone. I ask for a Bob and she says he is not there asks who I am. As per the script I tell her my name and that I am calling on behalf of phillip morris tobacco. She then says, "he died from lung cancer about 6 months ago." I didn't know what to say. I just said, "Oh, I'm sorry to bother you." I hung up the phone and told them I needed a different assignment. They didn't give it to me so I went to lunch and never went back.
