I have sometimes heard the phrase, 'Dead Man Walking',
the story, according to ABC News, began when Donald Miller of Ohio disappeared in 1986 after losing his job, He left behind his wife and two children, years later, his wife sought to have him declared legally dead so she could collect his Social Security benefits for their two minors, in 1994, Miller was declared dead,
fast forward to today, when Miller came back to Ohio and tried to re-establish his social security number, He went up to the judge, who said that according to Ohio legal statute, there could be no changes to death rulings after three years have passed, so, according to the State of Ohio, Donald Miller is (legally) dead and must remain so, despite that the man is still walking around amongst the living, his lawyer has so far not decided which court to go to next to prove his client is alive.
