Blogger registered his death to get a refund for an airline ticket

British blogger legally "died" to get a refund for a Ryanair ticket

Max Fosh, a well-known British YouTube blogger, went to extreme measures in his new experiment — he officially registered his own death to obtain a refund for an unused airline ticket from the low-cost carrier Ryanair. This was reported by Dexerto.

Fosh, famous for his unusual pranks and search for legal loopholes, had previously surprised the public with extravagant stunts. His track record includes such achievements as briefly holding the status of the richest person on the planet and installing a giant welcome sign for passengers who arrived in the wrong city.

In his new experiment, the blogger decided to test Ryanair's refund policy, which provides full compensation only in the event of a passenger's death. After carefully studying the rules, Fosh discovered an interesting detail: the carrier requires a death certificate but does not specify the country or jurisdiction of its issuance. To get back 37.28 pounds sterling (about $51 dollars – "Gazeta.Ru"), the resourceful blogger obtained an official document of his death in the Italian Principality of Seborga.

After providing the certificate, Ryanair began the refund process. However, at this point, the blogger's lawyer raised the alarm, warning that such actions, although formally not falling under the definition of fraud, are essentially fraudulent.

Despite Fosh's confidence in the legality of his actions, as he was only trying to get his own money back, the blogger heeded his lawyer's advice. In the end, he refused to accept the compensation and strongly urged his subscribers not to repeat similar experiments.
