  • How to Fake Your Own Death

By eHow Culture & Society Editor

Perhaps it's all just getting to be too much. Maybe you want a fresh start, a new beginning. On the other hand, maybe you just don't want to pay your students loans. Whatever it is, there is always the option of faking your death. If you are no longer alive, people will probably leave you alone. Here a checklist of basic essentials you may consider for faking your own death.

Step1

Choose your death. Be sure to choose a fake death that will not bring the FBI and every police officer in a 20-mile radius to your home. Murder and kidnapping are out, accidents and disappearances are in. Your plan should be simple and leave little doubt of your demise.

Step2

Appear to die. In most cases, this means you simply won't be coming back home. If you have chosen something a little more complex such as lost at sea or beamed up by aliens, ensure you have left no loose ends and no trail to your current location.

Step3

Attend your memorial service. Disguising yourself and attending your death services is a fantastic way to find out what people really thought about you. Start a conversation with: "Well, I for one am glad he/she is dead" and see how many in the crowd agree with you.

Step4

Cancel your identity. Realize that you can no longer use anything that would indicate you are alive including your credit cards, social security number, car, house, health insurance, or bank accounts. Kill two birds with one stone and find a new name off a gravestone while you attend your memorial service.

Step5

Change your appearance. A fake mustache and Groucho Marx glasses simply will not cut it. Shave, tan, color or bleach your hair, walk differently, and develop a thick foreign accent. People should leave you alone long enough to get out of town.

Step6

Permanently relocate. A dead person's name and a social security number you memorized from an elderly person in the doctor's office should be just enough for you to start again.

Step7

Stay dead. Nobody who has spent time mourning your passing will appreciate your sudden resurrection. It is extremely inconvenient, not to mention rude and a terrible let down for your enemies.

Tips & Warnings

Some possible fake death scenarios: Went on a hiking/hunting trip and never returned. Went on vacation abroad and hasn't been heard of since. Said he was moving across the country for a job, lost touch. Just never came home.

Don't go back to your home after whatever you were hiding from has cooled off. People say they believe in ghosts, but most are just a tad more skeptical.

Car accidents are never a good idea. They will be an insurance claim and you don't want to add fraud to your list of problems.

Acting weird or out of character before your anticipated death date will give the game away. Just act normal.

THE LEO ROUBOS FILES


Leo was born on the 11th of June 1966. He was born in Dordrecht and moved to Papendrecht. According to Marktplaats he moved back to Dordrecht. His wife is named Susy and she originates from Indonesia. He's amazingly proud of her and not afraid to show it. At first he seems like some old guy who just found out there is something called 'computers' and 'internet'. Then you find out his website actually dates back to early 2002 (with some updates here and there) and his computer (he listed all the parts, proud as he is) is actually pretty ok. I found out that he repainted a graffiti piece by Jules Deelder (Rotterdam poet) on the Berlin wall back in the eighties, right before the wall fell. This is actually very very cool. Jules thanked him and years later Leo interviewed him for his job at Radio Rijnmond (local radio station). When I was looking through his favourite website listings and found out that the only bands he thought worth listing were 'The Cure' and 'Echo and the Bunnyman' I knew that Leo is my man. A few of his favourite tv channels are: Discovery HD, National Geographic HD, History HD. So far I've found his street name + city, cell phone number, ICQ of him and his wife, a shitload of pictures he took, pictures of him, pictures of his wife. I know he sells paintings he painted on marktplaats and I even know what his voice sounds like, from the interview with Jules Deelder. He's had several car crashed and made a special page on his website dedicated to that. These are his current cameras according to flickr: Cameras: Sony DSLR α300X (private - NEW!) Sony Cybershot DSC P7 (private) Sanyo Xacti VPC S6 (work) Motorola Q9h (smartphone) Canon AE1 (analog).

Amy & Fabien

Starting from / this video in Rotterdam, we both journeyed into different directions by allowing the traveling videos to lead us to the next destination. Amy's path which eventually ended in a small village near Utrecht, Culemborg, mainly featured local transportation such as car, boat, train and bike. Fabien's journey to his final destination in Ho Chi Minh City mainly featured long-distance transport such as aeroplanes.

  • Main topic of interest : real estate + spatial intimacy
  • How does geography affect media literacy/usage?
  • How do neighborhoods organize around certain social/economical/technological parameters?
  • What constitutes the inside/outside of a home, and does can one be defined by these spaces?
  • To answer these questions we looked at many real estate websites in Rotterdam
  • Changing search factors yielded interesting results
  • People are not shy to showcase their belongings when selling their homes
