Donald Eugene Miller Jr. walked out of Hancock County Probate Court on Monday as legally dead as ever.
In 1994, the court ruled that Miller was legally dead, eight years after he disappeared from his Arcadia rental home.
His parents informed him of his "death" upon his return to Ohio in about 2005, he said.
Miller told Judge Davis he neither sought alcohol treatment nor contacted his children in the time after he left.
Miller said he would like to start his life again, or "whatever's left of it." He asked the court to reverse its 1994 death ruling so he can reinstate his canceled Social Security number and driver's license.
The court said no.
Judge Davis referred to Donald Miller's case as a "strange, strange situation."
"We've got the obvious here. A man sitting in the courtroom, he appears to be in good health," Davis said.
Miller made a decision to leave the state to avoid paying child support, Davis said.
But the three-year time limit on the death ruling is clear, Davis said.
"I don't know where that leaves you, but you're still deceased as far as the law is concerned," Davis said.

He's in the wrong court as his social security card and benefits are a federal matter. It happens all the time and an appeals court will overrule and admonish the mistaken judge.

Okay so I was scanning some of the current headlines and saw this nonsense.

It sounds like the guy has a drinking problem and he's a "deadbeat dad" but he's not dead.

WTH? If you have time read the article there is more info. than what I am including in this post.

Wow, so a living man is considered dead "as far as the law is concerned" ?
Not sure how I feel about this but it seems goofy.
Thoughts?

Sounds like a get out of jail free card to me. If he could find someone that would hire him
or start a small business he could get by income tax-free...probably FICA too...for a little
while at least.
You can bet a truckload of gold as soon as the IRS finds out a dead man is paying no
taxes they will make DAMN SURE he is brought back to life
