Default Ohio man still legally dead despite reappearing...

A man who turned up alive nearly 20 years after he disappeared has been told he cannot have a driving licence because he is still legally dead.

Donald Miller Jr vanished from a town in Ohio in 1986 after he lost his job and turned to alcohol.

He was officially declared dead eight years later, only to resurface in 2005.

"It kind of went further than I ever expected it to," Mr Miller said.

"I just kind of took off and ended up in different places."

The 61-year-old went to court to apply for a driving licence and to have his Social Security number reinstated.

However, his request to reverse the 1994 death ruling was turned down by Judge Allan Davis, who informed him there was a three-year limit for death notices to be repealed.

The judge admitted it was a "strange, strange situation".

"We've got the obvious here - a man sitting in the courtroom who appears to be in good health," he said

He told Mr Miller: "I don't know where that leaves you, but you're still deceased as far as the law is concerned."

So has he managed to get one now or is he still being denied one?

Read this last week.

There's a lot more to it: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/12/us...udge.html?_r=0

Sounds like dead-beat dad now wants to come back into life to collect his social security funds. Judge knocked it down to allow the money to go to his family. As a judge once said of a father who wasn't paying child support, in court, "you are worth more dead, than alive," this is the case that is closest to that quote.

Savage and unsettling domestic stuff here. The ex-parents now know each other again, as well as the children, who are old enough to buy homes and already have families of their own. And now we have a dead dad, who isn't quite dead, but he's most likely out of money. Anyone thinking of making this into a half hour comedy? It could totally work.
