The Darwin Awards, about people meeting their end in bizarre ways, a regular feature in these forums, has been topped by a story in Britain about a man
returning from the dead in a most bizarre way. And his name is Darwin...
John Darwin went missing five years ago, his damaged canoe being washed up on the North Sea coast. He was eventually declared dead by a coroner, and last year his wife went to live in Panama.
Last week, John Darwin turned up at a London police station saying he thought he might be a missing person and had no idea where he had been for the last five years.
Then a national paper turned up a picture of him and his wife taken with a Panama estate agent last year; it had been used for publicity shots and apparently, was found by someone who simply did an internet search using his and his wife's names and 'Panama'.
She is now
appearing in court accused of fraud (for the insurance money)
Most of the background stories leading up to today have vanished from the media sites - because Mrs Darwin has been charged - but the
New York Times can provide this for you....
