Has anyone successfully faked their own death?

Has anyone ever succeeded in faking their own death? We've often heard that Andy Kaufman/Elvis/Hendrix/whoever actually lives. I started wondering if anybody famous has ever succeeded in faking their own death. Then, after a quick glance through AskMe, I began to wonder, has anybody at all succeeded in faking their own death for any length of time?

(for those of who don't want to read the AskMe link, the man in the question who attempted to fake his death was found out shortly after the question was posted)

Andy Kaufman

Andy Kaufman - is he alive ? or failing that where can i find video clips of his performances on the net ? It was while searching ( not very well ) for clips of Andy Kaufmans performances on the internet that i came across the wiki entry for him ....and if you scroll down and read the excerpt about STEVE ROCCO , then it does sound very Kaufmanesque.
Mefi is well known for its bloodhounds and i was hoping some of you could have a wee look , because i'm really intrigued about it and don't have enough websavvy to think of behind the scenes places to look.
