Bergstrom

Bergstrom was a resident of St. Olaf and the business partner of Gustav Ljungqvist. After Gustav fell ill and was believed to have died, he was buried. However, he recovered, and yelled from the grave "We never paid our '78 through '86 income taxes." Bergstrom realized that only Gustav would know that, and so he was in fact alive.

When the town returned to the cemetery and dug up the coffin, they discovered Gustav dead; he had suffocated in the coffin.

At the same time, agents from the Internal Revenue Service were present at the cemetery during the disinterment. In order to avoid the IRS, Bergstrom grabbed Sheriff Tokvisten's gun and shot himself.

Bergstrom was buried with Gustav, since everyone was already at the cemetery and there was a coffin available. However, they later unfortunately learned that Bergstrom had wanted to be cremated.
