Hey YouTube, Jim here!
Welcome to Top10Archive!
Sometimes, when celebrities and people of note die, we don't go the normal route of
grieving and celebrating their life.
We're often prone to thinking the unimaginable - that they've faked their death and are still
out there, living a different life in the shadows.

Cory Monteith On July 13th, 2013, Glee star Cory Allan Michael
Monteith died from a combination of heroin and alcohol.
Or so we were told.
According to some, the young actor is still alive and his "death" was orchestrated to
help bolster Glee's declining ratings.
NoDisInfo.com describes the alleged scene of Monteith's death as suspicious, stating
it didn't look anything like a crime scene and nobody was acting as if there were an
emergency.
The website goes into an insane amount of detail over the fake nature of the show and
Monteith's suspicious relationship with co-star Lea Michelle, all pointing to a faked death.

Princess Diana It was a terrible crash surrounded by many
conspiracies over who did it, but there's another set of theorists out there that believe
it was just a setup.
It's not one of the more popular "fake death" conspiracies, but if you dig hard enough,
you can find hints to it.
Since the claim that an MI6 agent confessed to killing Diana proved to be fake, maybe
it lends credence to the idea that she's still out there, having opted to find a way out
of the limelight for a relatively normal life.

Andy Kaufman Andy Kaufman was a big trickster and has always
been about doing the most extreme thing to get in the spotlight.
After everything he pulled off, it really wouldn't be so unbelievable for him to have
faked his own death.
Though he was said to have died from cancer in 1984, Kaufman's boisterous persona, Tony
Clifton, had been reportedly seen at comedy clubs afterward.
Despite confirmation from Kaufman's manager, George Shapiro, and the Los Angeles County
Coroner, rumors still circulate about Kaufman's faked death.
The pot was stirred in 2013 when Kaufman's brother, Michael, introduced the Gotham Comedy
Club to the performer's "daughter," who attested that he was still alive.
Michael, however, claims even that was a hoax.
But who can keep track anymore.

Tupac Gunned down in the streets of Sin City, the
sudden death of Tupac Shakur was a devastating blow to the hip-hop world.
As recently as February 2018, reports surfaced that the former rapper may actually still
be alive and well.
According to Twitter user Suldaan_Mahdi, Shakur was spotted living out the remainder of his
life in Somalia.
It's also suggested that Suge Knight has all but outright said the singer was alive - despite
being allegedly shot in Sin City in 1996.

Paul Walker There didn't seem to be any question over
whether or not The Fast and the Furious star died in the 2013 car crash, but leave it to
his most devoted fans to find a way to bring him back.
Conspiracists believe he faked his death with the help of his theatrical cast mates.
These theorists have proposed that there were two different Porsches and have presented
photos of two different license plates - ignoring the fact that one was placed by a fan.
Several blurry photos and hints at publicity stunts have all been used to support the idea
that Walker never really died.
5.
Michael Jackson After being criticized by the public for years,
it really wouldn't be unfathomable that Jackson decided to hide away and fake his death.
In December 2017, the Daily Star reported that the musician had been spotted at the
wedding of Michael's nephew Siggy and Toyia Parker.
Photos and footage from the reception captured a suspicious looking man that appears to look
very similar to Jackson's portrayal as The Mayor in Ghosts.
It seems unlikely that Jackson would revert back to a known character if he were trying
to hide, but who are we to suck the joy out of some people's lives?
4.
Amelia Earhart Maybe the most plausible theory is that Amelia
Earhart didn't die during her mid-20th-century attempted flight around the world.
Earhart intended to circumnavigate the globe, but mysteriously vanished during her approach
to Howland Island.
She was declared dead in absentia on Jan. 5th, 1939, but in 2017, CNN reported on a
photo that appeared during a History channel documentary that may have captured Earhart
in the Marshall Islands.
Allegedly, a facial recognition expert was able to determine that two people in the photograph
looked like Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan.
3.
Marilyn Monroe August 5th, 1962, starlet Marilyn Monroe is
found unresponsive in her Los Angeles home.
Many theories surfaced over her death as people speculated whether she was murdered and, if
so, who did it.
One theory, however, states that she never died.
A claim points to her psychiatrist Dr. Ralph Greenson, who allegedly committed the actress
into a mental institution after she suffered a breakdown.
She lived there for 20 years before being released, somehow avoiding recognition.
John Alexander Baker, the author of Marilyn Monroe: Alive in 1984?
claims he picked up a hitchhiker in 1984 that claimed she was Monroe.
2.
Elvis Presley Possibly the most popular death hoax conspiracy
is that of Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll.
On August 16th, 1977, Presley was discovered by his girlfriend, Ginger Alden, unresponsive
on his bathroom floor.
For years, people have refused to believe that he's dead, and with so many impersonators
out there, it's understandable that some people would be confused.
Others, however, are just adamant that he's alive, having given up the spotlight for any
number of reasons.
Some claim he was connected to the mafia and served as an undercover agent, eventually
faking his death to avoid being killed.

Adolf Hitler Having been born in 1889, it's unlikely Hitler
is still alive, pushing 130 years of age - but rather, he may not have died the way the history
books are written.
In 1944, the United States Secret Service drew up a depiction of how Adolph Hitler may
look if he tried to escape being captured by the Allies.
On April 30, 1945, however, he was said to have killed himself.
The Soviets told a different story, claiming he was still alive.
The first announcement that Hitler survived came on June 9th, 1945 from Marshall Georgy
Zhukov under direct orders from Joseph Stalin.
Some sources claim he escaped to Argentina and the History Channel's Hunting Hitler series
featured witnesses that alleged that the Fuhrer escaped to South America by U-Boat.
