So You Want to Fake Your Own Death

I actually don't recommend that a person fake their death.  Sure you may have plenty of problems in your current life but faking your death usually only compounds your problems.  You may get a bit of temporary relief from the problems that sent you over the edge in the first place but those problems will still be there when your scheme unravels...not to mention the additional problem that will result from the aftermath.

So should you want to take your own death, here's some reminders:

• If you are supposed to be dead, you shouldn't be commiting a robbery...
• ...or any other crime
• Consider that a seven-steps-with-pictures "how to fake your death" article probably isn't comprehensive enough to actually get you to your goal
• Although it is a popular topic
• And some more "what not to do's"
• And a few more
• And yet more (popular topic, no?)
• It doesn't even work very well in third world countries
• And it doesn't work well when you are marginally famous
• By "cutting all ties" with your previous life, they mean cut all ties
• Although it isn't technically illegal to fake your own death
• The whole fraud part of faking your own death usually has some severe consequences
• And a list of dumb mistakes people make when they fake their death
