Constantin Reliu learned in January this year that he was dead.
After more than 20 years of working as a cook in Turkey, the 63‑year‑old returned home to Romania to discover that his wife had had him officially registered as dead.
He has since been living a nightmare of trying to prove to authorities that he is, in fact, alive.
He has now faced a major setback when a court in the northeastern city of Vaslui in Romania refused to overturn his death certificate because his request was filed "too late."
The decision, the court said, is final.
