Romanian man declared legally dead. Appeals decision. Loses

[cheesyboy]

A Romanian court has upheld a man's death certificate, rejecting the man's appeal in court against the decision.

Gotta love this sort of 1984 bureaucracy ****

 

[StriderX]

Well wouldn't be too difficult to appeal in the EU, clearly a fundamental breach of his human rights. Even if humorous.

This is.... dead.... funny
He could make.... a killing.... in insurance fraud
He was dead in romania but alive in Turkey? Death does know bounds!
Officially worlds first zombie

He should watch his step. If someone wants to bump him off then they have a pretty good defence against a murder charge...

Gets married
Runs away from Romania to Turkey and breaks contact with wife for next 24 years
Wife files for a death certificate on the above grounds and gets it
He gets deported from Turkey back to Romania
Court decides the death certificate was issued properly

Cue man sitting in his self generated problems

musta been a hell of a court case "what do you mean the defendant is also the sole witness and sole evidence in this case?"

So if technically the wife is responsible for his (legal) death, why isn't she facing murder charges?

 

[mrbazmondo]

If hes legally dead, is it legally impossible for him to commit a crime now?

If hes legally dead, is it legally impossible for him to commit a crime now?

Plot twist. Legally dead man kills wife but murderer is already legally dead so can't be charged.

 

[Malevolence]

Hmmm, it's Romania and there's a dead man is walking around as if alive. Pretty sure I've read that book.

Good God man.....

Ah, missed the HD version!

Edit; An excuse to back up the poor choice for continuity of him not being dead I found an SD video from when he was actually alive. Now he's dead anything goes!

 

[VaderDSL]

It’s a good way to lower your tax burden!

 

[Nasher]

Yep, no tax, can't be guilty of any crimes. Because your legally dead

It won't last long because they won't allow a guy to be walking around who can do whatever the **** he likes and be untouchable (legally). Isn't bureaucracy great.

 

[Uther]

Amazing!
