Not sure. Any time you fake your death, you have to keep in mind that living humans need food, and so it’s difficult to look like you stopped eating to someone who knows enough to monitor the food consumption of an area. It’s one of those “the criminal always returns to the scene of the crime” situations (that saying always struck me as odd). Food is just one thing though that could be considered an expectation you can count on for all humans in order to track someone down. Therefore, I would have to either become a nomad and escape into the wood (or maybe a cave as friends of mine would suggest) or hide in someone’s house away from law enforcement, but even then a bad set of circumstances can give me away.
Oh, youre thinking about the actual death bit. There’s a couple of ways to do it easier then holding your breath and hoping the coroner doesn’t notice during the autopsy.
Head to a place that’s known to be semi-dangerous for whatever reason (a beachfront hotel, mountains, etc). Inform people of your vacation plans, and then dissappear the same way that other people who probably died did. If you’re really didcated, go to bear country, leave food out for a bear, and then dump some pre-drawn blood of yours around when a bear shows up and then disappear. Switch countries and never look back. This is a dick move, but if pretending death is the best solution you can find it should work well enough.
If you’re just trying to run away, it’s actually relatively easy. Sell/trash everything, buy an old car, drive across country, and start completely over without ever telling anyone where you went. Don’t even sign into your old online accounts. As far as everyone but the government is concerned, you’ll have disappeared. If you’re leaving an abusive family behind or avoiding the mafia, this is plenty, and you don’t have to worry about being deported. Spend a few years as a waiter or construction worker being paid under the table and as long as you keep that up, you’re even invisible from the less proactive parts of the government.
I’ll be honest, faking my death seems dramatic and way too complicated for any situation i can come up with. I’d just do the disappear thing and leave it at that.
Yeah, but they will find you if they wanted to if you’re alive and do plan on staying alive. For example, most mountains have systems of tollbooths and sherpas, you can’t simply walk in and enter the realm of public oblivion. So for example if you plan on walking into the mountains until people assume you’re dead and then leave, the right people will see and you’ll catch back on. Made worse because we have progressed so far into forensics and many countries are using that to monitor peoples’ whereabouts. Soon there will be no running away from anything you want to run back to and no pretending to run. An insistent person will have to do what persecuted monks from Rome did and live unchartedly or squat with a person trustworthy enough to keep the secret. It’s why witness protection only works when it’s government-sponsored.
