Popular YouTuber gets fake death certificate to secure $50 refund from airline
YouTuber stages his own death to get a refund from airline
- British youtuber and comedian Max Fosh staged his own death to claim a $50 refund for a cancelled flight.
- Fosh undertook the elaborate scheme out of “pettiness” and “principle” after discovering the airline only offered cash refunds to deceased passengers.
- He travelled to Seborga, a self-proclaimed principality in Italy, where Princess Nina Menegatto provided a special, one-off death certificate for entertainment purposes.
- After holding a mock funeral and submitting the documentation, the airline agreed to process his refund application.
- Fosh's lawyer advised him against claiming the money, deeming the act “fraudulent,” leading Fosh to abandon the claim and warn viewers not to replicate the stunt.
