Dead Man in Good Health
A word to the wise - if you've faked your death for the insurance money - don't visit your GP.
Our hero today is Ahmad Akhtary, who had managed to get a false death certificate from Afghanistan certifying that he had died of 'brain trauma.'
The trauma to his brain must have been extensive - what other explanation is there for the fact that Akhtary continued to lead a perfectly normal, visible life despite being dead. Top marks to his GP for diagnosing that he was alive.
Instead of the £300,000 that Akthary hoped to net, he has been jailed for nine months (suspended for two years) on the charge of gaining money by deception.
I suppose that pretending to have a brain does count as deception.
