For example his fiancee remarried and had a kid but have him the full GFE DFK in the rain, he drove out to Texas and delivered that package (to the artist who got divorced from her husband that cheated in Russia), etc. In my memory he got rescued and that was it

What do you do in this sort of situation if you're the man who was lost or the women who didn't wait? This had to have happened before with wars and such

Its sad but life goes on for everyone. The lost person finds a new mate, the person who was left behind at home has already started a family. After a month the pain is gone. At least they weren't forced to see them on facebook every day for the rest of their lives.

You can't unring the bell wrt life insurance, will, probate, etc. Can you imagine? Legally, once ur notarized signature is on those life insurance collection docs, that's it. Cucky has to skedaddle and good luck obtaining decent coverage ever again lol

People disappearing without a confirmed death is not an uncommon occurrence.1 In fact, it is a theme that is present in popular culture, such as the movie "Castaway."2 Like Tom Hanks' character in the movie, sometimes people do come back, and when they do, there are legal implications to consider.3 Unfortunately, in Connecticut, the legal requirements for dealing with someone who has returned from being presumed dead are not well-defined.4 Although Connecticut's existing law acknowledges the possibility of resurrection, its brevity raises ambiguity about the legal status if an individual were to reappear after their estate had been settled following their supposed demise.5 While fiduciaries are not liable in such cases, Connecticut lacks a comprehensive statute that governs the law in situations where an absentee reappears. This note argues that Connecticut should follow the lead of other states, such as Pennsylvania and New York, and enact a more robust statutory regime to govern this situation.

[*366] The first part of this Note details the background and history of the 2012Connecticut General Statutes Section 45a-329, the relevant statute for having an absentee declared dead in Connecticut.6 This section also analyzes the background of Pennsylvania Statutes §§5701-5706 regarding absentee and presumed dead individuals, which is the relevant Pennsylvania statute for determining what a presumed dead individual can regain from his or her already distributed estate.7 Additionally, this section analyzes the effectiveness of New York Estate Powers and Trust Laws Section 2226, the relevant New York statute for determining what an absentee who was wrongly presumed dead can regain from his or her already distributed estate.8

The second part of this Note will posit that compared to New York, Pennsylvania has more efficient laws when it comes to legally declaring an individual deceased and distributing their estate, and that Pennsylvania's laws should serve as a benchmark for New York to improve their own statutes. Additionally, Connecticut should also consider adopting similar laws as Pennsylvania when revising their own statutes.

not really. he was quite stoic about it. he returned the pocket watch, picked up a new wilson, and delivered the package. he didnt whine or feel sorry for himself and in fact he learned to spear fish, fastened together a raft, etc. it didnt feel faggy to me at all

that movie is really funny in retrospect because the ending is the complete opposite of how it would go down today

today the guy would be the most famous person in the world for a month or two and get a billion endorsements etc and immediately become filthy rich and influential and the wife who remarried would instantly leave her new husband and pull out all the stops to get back together with him while tens of thousands of other women would throw themselves at him even if he was a bald emaciated freak and he would live a totally dream life

really says a lot about "how far we've come" since then haha

saw it in theaters decades ago and rewatched recently. I forgot the part where the rescuing ship's captain asks Tom Hanks "I see you've made a shelter for yourself, and I understand man's need for religion, but why did you build not one but TWO synagogues?" and Tom Hanks goes, "Oh, that's the one we DON'T go to"
