Fox News has this story about a woman who faked her own death in order to leave her church:
It all started, the St. Petersburg Times reported Friday, when the 27-year-old told members of her church choir that she was dying of cancer, and that she soon would start receiving treatments. She “left” the church, but choir members said they continued to receive calls from a “hospice nurse” with updates on Matera’s health. The same “nurse” then called choir director Timothy Paquin on Jan. 18 to say Matera had died…
Paquin said he called the hospice and local funeral homes, but none had ever heard of Matera. Then, when the church family gathered to mourn Matera’s death, a woman looking exactly like Matera showed up, claiming to be her sister, they said.
Choir members called the sheriff’s office for help, and when deputies went to Matera’s apartment she confessed the hoax, saying she needed to separate from the church community.
