You define your liveness by some piece of paper?
- koliber 5mo agoI don't. But many others do. The only thing that let's banks and other companies know that you are dead is a piece of paper called a Death Certificate.

And once a death certificate have been issued and filed, proving you are in fact still around is whole can of worms of its own. eg https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/jul/03/they-said-i-dont-exist-but-i-am-here-one-womans-battle-to-prove-she-isnt-dead https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/jul/03/they-sa... Edit: and a few others https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48060857 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48060857 The Romanian man Guardian article has a great and horrible quote: > The court told him he was too late, and would have to remain officially deceased.

It seems that Jeanne was declared alive again in 2023, which is the most recent public reporting on the case: https://www.leprogres.fr/faits-divers-justice/2023/02/28/jeanne-pouchain-toujours-morte-pour-l-administration-mais-a-nouveau-vivante https://www.leprogres.fr/faits-divers-justice/2023/02/28/jea...
