The Darwin who dies ...and comes ba

2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

It could only happen in England.

A man from Hartlepool (the monkey hanger town - another story!) went canoeing nearly six years ago and....... dies (well he didn't actually, he just disappeared). A death certificate was issued so TECHNICALLY he died (And so must be eligible to be listed here); his inquest, memorial service and sobbing family (well some of it) are all matters of history.

Then, like a prat he hands himself in to the police, saying that he thought he might be a missing person (no shit sherlock!).

He gave himself away when, whilst living in obscurity he had some real estate pictures taken (with his grieving widow) in Panama. Mrs Darwin moved there just recently with the insurance money from her late (missing confused) husbands death.

They will bothget some time to reflect in Jail so there is a poor oputcome for the dead man who is a real life Darwin.

Since he didn't remove himself from the gene pool he doesn't qualify for a DA. Thanks anyway, Des.

Alas, Bruce is right. Technically this is a dumb crook story, so you may wish to send it to DumbCrooks.com!
