   The guy who did it just to see who came to his funeral and only had one mourner got exactly what he deserved. If you’re heartless enough to stage your own death and cause grief to your loved ones to satisfy your own curiosity, you don’t deserve to have any loved ones. He shouldn’t have been surprised in the slightest that no one came to pay respects to such a cruel and selfish man. Hopefully, not even his mom shows up when it’s not a hoax.

   Melissa, everybody knows that if you don’t go to people’s funerals, they won’t go to yours.

   And does anyone else think Ken Lay should be on this list?

   I have to agree with Melissa on this one. Not only is it a low thing to do, but think about all the planning that goes into something like this. A person has to be really desperate, utterly insane, and verging on, if not sociopathic.

   The story of Clayton Daniels is interesting. he and his girlfriend faked his death by digging up an old woman’s body and burning it in his car, so he could avoid jail and collect his insurance. He then dyed his hair and moved back in with his girlfriend and their children who obviously recognized them. I forget exactly how he was caught, I know they tested the DNA of the body and found it out as female but that’s as much as I remember.

   Or they just said, “Say, who’s that guy who’s living with you?”

   Probably not a faked death, but an incident of the obituary being published pre-humously (Did I just coin a new word?): P.T. Barnum felt he was at death’s door and was curious as to how he would be remembered. So he convinced a prominent newspaper to publish his obituary while he was still alive. The obituary was so flattering it put him into a better mood, and he lived a few days or weeks longer.

   I don’t have specific details on this story; it’s entirely possible that he had a friend contact the newspaper to report him dead, and thus it was indeed a faked death. But I think I remember that the folks at the newspaper knew he was alive, and went along with it to humor him.
