"Living, breathing man will remain dead in the eyes of Ohio law"

(CNN) -- An Ohio man who has been legally dead since 1994 will remain so in the eyes of the law after losing his complaint to overturn his death filing, according to authorities.

Donald Miller, 61, testified Monday that he disappeared in 1986 after losing his job, leaving behind a wife, two children and thousands of dollars of unpaid child support, according to James Hammer, the attorney for Miller's ex-wife, Robin Miller. He was declared legally dead eight years later.
 
Donald Miller said he returned to Ohio "around 2005" with no knowledge of his legal death, and that he had hoped to reestablish his Social Security number.
 
A legal statute in Ohio prevents changes to death rulings once three years have passed, Hammer told CNN, and Judge Allan Davis ruled accordingly in Hancock County Probate Court.
 
"In over 40 years, I've never come across a case like this," the judge told CNN.
"In the end though, because of the statute, it was a pretty open-and-shut case."

SO does this mean he can stop paying taxes?

Does this mean anyone can kill him just for kicks? I mean, he's already dead, they can get you for desecrating a dead body, but not for murder, right?

Icepick said...

Kill the guy and use the GRRM Defense: That which is already dead cannot die!

Icepick said...

AND fifth!

Lem, how'd your team do?

Icepick said...

Oops, still going on. Lem won't be here yet.

Detroit is apparently using a sex toy against the Sawks. I'm not sure that's legal, though the game is in MASS.

Icepick said...

Base hit! Lem is happier now, though still tense. And they're still using a sex toy against the Sawks, which I GUARANTEE would not be legal in the South. They're arrest the whole danged stadium.

Icepick said...

And the rest of y'all are really slacking. I feel like Crack going on about Republicans selling their souls to Mitt Romney, or something.

Which is kind of funny, 'cause Crack claims he doesn't believe in that kind of shit.

Icepick said...

Okay, that was the weakest throw to first base ever. And now the pitcher is behind in the count, and they're going to try a different sex toy! Woo hoo! Use the Sybian next!

Icepick said...

Oops, false alarm, they're keeping the old sex toy in, which is starting to smell a little funky.

Down to the last out. But aren't all those skulls looking kind of pretty?

Icepick said...

I mean, such a pretty column of skulls.

Icepick said...

Lem's a little happier now, though his heart just skipped a beat.

Icepick said...

It looks way too cold for baseball in Boston right now.

Icepick said...

Full count. If the pitcher walks this guy, that stolen base will be for nothing.

Icepick said...

Well, Lem, you still have the rest of the series.

There is no joy in East Rutherford tonight.

Which they look like with all that hair.

In the old days this would be good for a thread of about fifty Celia Cruz videos.

Good times.

It's like these guys never do their Kegels during warm-ups.

Brutal day in the SEC. Got a guy down with a possible neck injury right now.

Icepick said...

Yeah, a bad looking injury in the Texas A&M-Ole Miss game.

I was helping keep #redsox on top (thinking it might help us, it did not)

We were almost no-hit.

The batters were anxious. All that time off didn't do them any good.

Icepick said...

Well, at least the guy can move his arms, but they've immobilized him otherwise.

Chip Ahoy said...

That's an odd picture, a guy strapped down tightly immobilized with a free arm flapping around.

Two arms free, Chip, but not flapping around. He held them both up, with thumbs up, to indicate that he was going to be alright. At the very least, it means he can move his arms, which is a good sign.
