Just to clarify before we start, i don't condone fraud or the falsification of legal documents. This is all hypothetical fiction.
The idea for this post came to me while participating on the teamspeak channel 
(https://steemit.com/steemit/@fyrstikken/introducing-steemspeak-com-a-voice-community-and-24-7-radio-station-for-steemians)
We were discussing crazy spouses and men/women in general yesterday, and things got kind of dark with some comments in the text chat.
You can tune in on the radio here: http://steemspeak.com/
What you must be willing to do
So to get started, to be able to fake your own death you must be able to sever all ties with your past life, you can think of it as if you actually did die and woke up in a new place with no memory of your past life or the connections you had in that life.
You must move on and start all over again.
If you are wanted by the authorities the process of faking ones death would be a lot harder, the have resources your friends and family doesn't. There are people who make a living out of finding missing people and you can bet your sweet candy ass they will find you.
To do this properly takes time and a lot of careful planning, you can't do it overnight. All it takes is one mistake and all your effort is turned into nothing.
After your disappearing act you will have a hard time adjusting, you will get paranoid and will most likely never be able to trust anyone.
If you are fine with everything mentioned above you can start planning.
The planning stage
There are some basic points you must cover like: a cover story, new name and a new place/country.
The cover story should be made from the start, from your fictional childhood up to this place in time.
The new name should be a random, usual name which won't cause any unwanted attention and it should be hard to find you on the internet because it's a name many people share.
Your new home should be a totally random place where you've never been before, and a place your family haven't visited or would want to visit. So starting over again at the same place were your grandmother have her vacation home is a really, really bad idea.
Acquiring funds
You will need cash, and lots of it. The reason i say cash is obvious to me but may not be to you. Credit cards can be traced, and even with a new name you don't want to tie yourself to devices that can be traced.
But getting loads of cash can be hard, you can't just go to the bank and withdraw all your money.
This is were crypto currency could be very useful, it can be traced but to an anonymous identity.
You could buy some bitcoin and sell them by meeting a potential buyer face-to-face while disguised, there are several webpages that connects sellers and buyers for this.
You could also make up a fake gambling addiction, visit your local casino if you live in a place where they exist. Withdraw cash and spend 10-20% of it at the casino every night. Put the rest in a safe place, and your cash supply will start growing without causing any suspicion.
Creating your new identity
This is the most difficult part of it all, you need to learn your cover story by heart and practice how this new persona you've created acts. How he talks, how he dresses and what personality he has.
Then you should start making your online persona, start with a e-mail that isn't tied to any phone number or anything like that and make accounts on social media sites, start networking. This will give your new persona credibility. By this point you should look and act different than the dead version of you so no one should be able to recognize you.
Birth-certificate, driving license, passport and such documents could be acquired on the deep web, this is of course highly illegal but everything else you've done up to this stage isn't exactly very moral so why the fuck not.
How to die
The most important thing here is to die in a way were no body would be found.
Suicide would be my go-to fake death, make a suicide note blaming gambling addiction, depression or something else that your family/spouse would believe.
Then act the part for some time, seek help and convince everyone. The one day go for a walk to the nearest bridge with streams that for sure would wash away a body onto the wast dark ocean and leave your jacket/shoes on the rail . Make sure no one see you walk away from your clothes, cause if someone spots you after you're busted and just another missing person.
The disappearing act
If you have gone through with all these stages and you're still committed, it's time to vanish.
Travel to where you've planned in the earlier stages and stay at motels while setting up a permanent address.
Stick to your cover story and new identity, remember that the person that you used to be is dead. If you hear anyone mention your dead personas name or see anyone the dead you knew, move. Select a new place and stick to your commitment.
I hope you enjoyed this fictional read, if i have forgotten anything or there are some stages you would like to add, please leave a comment.
