DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Kimberly Du landed in a grave situation after police say she tried to avoid traffic charges by faking her death. Du, 36, of Des Moines, faked her death in December, court records show.
Someone claiming to be Du’s mother used a pair of forged documents, including a death notice printed on a newspaper Web site and a letter purported to be signed by Du’s mother, to persuade court officials that Du had died, records show.
Faking your death to get out of parking tickets. Wow, that’s a new one on me. Most of the people I know actually just go all the way with it.
She was actually able to get away with it for awhile. The judge tossed out the charges as soon as she learned of her death. But what was her not-so-fatal mistake? She got pulled over again. She reportedly told the officer, “But officer, I’m supposed to be dead. Whoops.”
She received a felony charge of forgery for faking her mother’s signature, a $50,000 bond and the death penalty. Ahhh, sweet irony…
