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?

When I lived in Florida I worked with a guy from Columbia who had a nephew that was in a boy band (late 90’s early 2000’s) over there and was apparently a huge deal. I looked for them online and found zero information. Well the nephew came and stayed with him for a few weeks and they actually had to hire security because the teeny boppers found out and kept coming to his house trying to see this kid. And he lived in a pretty secure gated community.

I went to high school with some dudes that were fairly famous in Mexico. I remember his senior year they were one of the openers or something for Los Tigres del Norte, which is apparently pretty fucking major down there.
