Judge Rules Ohio Man Must Remain Dead

LAST CHANCE, Iowa - June 14, 2024 - PRLog -- Donald Miller Jr. is seeking a county judge's intervention to overturn a 1994 ruling that declared him dead. However, Mucus County Probate Court Judge Leigh Gale DeLay rejected Miller's plea, citing a three-year time limit for altering a death ruling. Judge DeLay characterized Miller's case as unusual and perplexing, concluding that, according to the law, Miller remains legally dead.

"I understand the challenges Mr. Miller faces due to the constraints of this ruling. Mr. Miller can no longer vote, hold public office, or obtain a driver's license. He cannot collect Social Security and without a valid ID, find gainful employment. Through no fault of his own, he is but one of many in our society who has fallen through the cracks. However, my hands are tied, much as his were when he was brought in unconscious and ruled dead all those years ago. This should serve as a warning to all that we should be vigilant in all that we do."

Robin Miller, Donald's former spouse, asserted that he disappeared due to outstanding child support payments exceeding $26,000.

Approximately eight years ago, Miller reemerged, navigating the legal system to obtain a driver's license and reinstate his Social Security number. His ex-wife opposed this action, contending that she lacked the financial means to reimburse the Social Security benefits disbursed to her and their two children after Miller's official declaration of death.

Dead and gone but still very much here, Mr. Miller plans to appeal Judge DeLay's ruling until he gets justice and, as he told the Cool Ghoul staff, "My life back."

Donald Miller Jr.'s case may seem like something out of a bizarre comedy, but it highlights the importance of persistence and the fight for what's right. Despite his legal hurdles, perhaps Donald will find hope in Psalm 16:11: "You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore."

This verse reminds us that true fulfillment comes from knowing God and knowing God is eternal life (John 17:3). Through His son Jesus, God offers a path that leads to a life far more meaningful than anything we can experience here on earth. Even if Mr. Miller doesn't get his life back in the legal sense, he can find purpose and joy in a relationship with Jesus.

If you're facing challenges, don't give up hope. Take comfort in the knowledge that God is with you, and He offers a future filled with peace and everlasting joy. Walk towards Him, and trust that He will lead you home. — Calvin, Managing Editor of the Cool Ghoul Gazette -- Where Facts, Farce and Fiction Collide! https://coolghoulgazette.com/
