I'd fake suicide at the beach, no cctv and nobody around. Leave my car, wallet and keys behind with a note. I'd dye my hair at the beach and wear bulky clothing to hide my shape, then walk away.
Faking it isn't hard it's nobody ever finding out ever that's hard I reckon
Faking it isn’t hard it’s nobody ever finding out ever that’s hard I reckon
The problem isn't convincing people that you're dead. That's really easy.
The problem is convincing everybody that you're someone else. In this day and age, it's very, VERY complicated to assume a fake identity that stands up to scrutiny.
As I see it, the goal is to convince specific people that you’re dead and it doesn’t really matter if anyone knows you’re alive who wouldn’t tell them. There’s no need to fake an identity unless you’re specifically hiding from the government.
The trick is to spend years prior to the switch establishing identity 2
Yep exactly. Shops use cash less, cctv everywhere, medical care etc etc. The list is endless.
Tell everyone I'm going backpacking on the AT and instead fly outta the country.
the question has a flawed premise. Faking your death is the easy part, basically just let anyone know you're travelling into the wilderness and then don't return. The hard part is what you do after. You can't access any funds you had, your ID, your birth certificate, you essentially are giving up your ability to be a citizen in whatever country you're living in. Your best chance of being able to live a new life is likely travelling by foot/car to a corrupt country where you can purchase fake credentials with cash.
Are you looking for ideas or just curious?
Shhhh shhhhh I'm trying to be subtle about it
I would answer you but I'm layng low because I'm trrying to play dead.
In a dedicated (or "extreme") demonstration of how the phenomenon people today often call "sealioning" is really just a part of the way things must go at times, where I live, the only surefire way to unquestionably be considered dead by authorities is with a body to organically examine. Even if you did what Metro Man did in Mega Mind, it wouldn't typically be followed by a declared conclusion because they have a knack for genetic/bodily testing and making sure no assembly of working organs was able to wander off somewhere. Every status either authorities or laypeople can imbue in you that doesn't follow this mindset will grant you a "probably dead" at best while your living record remains in the back of peoples' minds and filing cabinets.
The absolutely only exception that doesn't merely involve this is to go missing at a certain age, stay missing until you're well over 100, and hope you've actually lived well over 100 so that it counts as "faking" your death (since it's not faking death if you really did die), and though I could try, I would bet my life on the fact I won't live over 100 (which will probably end up being one reason why).
