penultimatestraw 473 Posted December 16, 2017 Hopefully, Rholio is in on this in an attempt to one-up Artista and the expats in China. https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/faking-own-death-philippines-became-172955277.html For the bargain price of around £350, travellers can purchase “death kits” made up of documents that “prove” your demise. The process involves buying an unclaimed corpse from one of the many morgues in the Philippines that have a decent number of them. And the customers? Desperate Wall Street bankers seeking to escape debt, and men having affairs who want to leave their families, apparently. Then there’s Elizabeth Greenwood, who “died” as a tourist in the Philippines in 2013. Multiple spectators witnessed her crash her rental car into another vehicle on a busy road in Manila, and doctors at the local hospital pronounced Greenwood dead on arrival. Or so her death certificate states. In reality, Greenwood is alive and well working as a journalist in New York. She is also the author of Playing Dead: A Journey Through the World of Death Fraud, a book she wrote having extensively researched the black market and having managed to fake to her own death, fairly easily as it turned out.

titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted December 16, 2017 You'll invariably leave a digital footprint somewhere and they'll find you. Probably not. If you do the initial part right, why would they ever look? And who are they anyway? Most people wouldnt have a bunch of suspicious folks looking for them.

Most people wouldnt have a bunch of suspicious folks looking for them. Primarily you're faking your own death for a couple reasons: monetary gain or escaping prosecution. The people who lose money when you die and those that want to prosecute you won't just say 'oh, how unfortunate'. You should watch more crime shows based on actual events. People are dumb and almost always get caught. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People are dumb and almost always get caught. Well, when you steal $600, you can just disappear. When you steal 600 million, they will find you, unless they think you're already dead. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People are dumb and almost always get caught. Well yeah. Youd wanna leave the county and pretty much completely sever everything. Would need to have some pretty damn good false identity documents like a passport and such. And if its the government youre running from, probably gonna want to have some facial changes to avoid camera detection in airports and such. So it would be a fairly expensive procedure if youre running from serous persuit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ELVIS! 12 Posted December 16, 2017 You have to make it where people will say, "He would never fake that." Like dying while sitting on the commode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
