And this one snitched from MSN: Woman donates part of liver to 'former ex husband'. Julie Noce reports FORMER ex-husband? Weird!

Former ex-husband sounds like those double negatives.

Indeed. He could only be her former ex-husband if he is not longer her ex-husband - either because they had remarried or he had died.

Maybe the ex was a horrible accident of a man?
