A very-much-alive Romanian man has been told he will remain ‘dead’, after he took too long to appeal a wrongful death certificate.
Constantin Reliu, 63, was declared dead by his wife in 2016, after he moved to Turkey and went off the grid for nearly 25 years.
Mr Reliu has today lost his case in the northeast city of Vasului because he took too long to appeal his death certificate.
