Strange one isnt it traps.

I presume that the death certificate must have been issued, even though his body was never found. I'm certain no life insurance/pension benefits would have been paid without a death certificate.

Frightening thing is that he didn't live far from myself!!! Also he was suposed to have been hiding in a cupboard in his house for upto 3 years!!

is the uk media giving a vastly inflated prominence to this story?? i'm sick of hearing about the darwins

i mean a man from hartlepool, (a place where incidentally a monkey was famously hanged in the beleif that it was a french spy), fakes his own death to collect a paltry £150k insurance payout - it's pretty much a non-story!

but it has certainly taken the heat off gordon brown and his bunch of "bent" cronies this past week or so
