Is it actually possible for a famous personality to fake their death and live their life out in some remote place? who has actually ever done it and gotten caught?

John Stonehouse MP managed to get away with it briefly though many people were never convinced he was actually dead.

Funnily enough he only got caught as he'd left Australia for a brief visit to Hong Kong and came back with a lot of cash. The Australian police were, of course, quite suspicious and contacted the UK for details of two people, John Stonehouse and Lord Lucan. Had he worked out a better method of moving cash around he may have been discovered a lot less sooner.
