He says he is alive but records speak otherwise

This Romanian man affirms he is alive but records say otherwise
The poor man is suffering from amnesia and is not speaking lies.

“A Romanian man was not allowed to renew his identity papers because official records said he had died eight years ago.

Gheorghe Stirbu, 61, was told a death certificate existed stating that he had died on March 3, 1999 from breathing difficulties and had been buried on March 22.

Mr Stirbu said he was not ill at the time, and the death certificate does not appear to be a case of mistaken identity. He now hopes to show a court that he is still alive, and finally get his official ID updated.”
