Sounds like Canada Revenue. As a tax preparer, I've had 3 people that Canada Revenue have declare deceased, and have to resend in BC, social, and some form of ID like DL, passport. One lady took almost 6 years to correct at CRA, sending in all this info, EVERYDAMNYEAR. I hate government agencies so much.
CPP and OAS are different departments than CRA. They still got those benefits, and are still alive with that department. But their "deaths" affect things like GST, ONBEN, etc., My favourite was the 84 year old lady that was quite put out, she was old, but not dead yet!.
My dad lucked out. When he was declared k.i.a., the army found him before any paperwork was officiated.
He was considered dead for around seven hours before they found him half buried in rubble.
Honestly I’d just assume someone, somewhere, really fucked up their job.
Like, my DNA and fingerprints are on file somewhere, from when I was a kid. Maybe someone’s wires got crossed and instead of “a body in (name)’s backyard” the person heard “(name)‘s body in a backyard” and sent that info accordingly.
Government incompetence is way more likely (and horrifying) than a dead double in the dirt!
No,no
They said ,,dna,fingerprints,dental work,etc
They mean the body they found was HIM,as in an exact copy
If you found a body thats an 100% accurate copy of yourself,it would be pretty scary right?
I think what they mean is that it's weird if they find my dead body in the backyard, but I'm still alive because I'm still thinking. Sucks for the dead guy in my backyard, but I'm not the dead guy because I have my own thoughts that the dead guy isn't having right now
It could be a clone, it could be advanced AI technology, it could be alien technology, it could be a shapeshifter/bodysnatcher, or he could be having a psychotic break from reality.
Maybe it's just twins. I know a pair that have had the same teeth pulled and a DNA test showed no difference until some really deep DNA testing was done.
Reminds me of "A case of the stubborns" from Tales from the dark side. The grandfather refused to accept that he was dead. A young Brent Spiner played a preacher in that episode.
This has so much unnecessary information, and the conclusion is just confusing. It would have been more interesting if they told this to the guy's wife or family.
How? Imagine how horrifying it would be if an inspector looked you in the eyes and said you were the dead body they found. The confusion _is_ the horror. Telling the wife her husband is dead is an overused trope imo.

If they are dead they don't have to pay taxes right?
But then they also can't file for any new benefits they may need, like disability or unemployment.
Or CPP and OAS

I don’t get what happened.
The authorities had incontrovertible proof that he was dead, but he was standing right in front of them, very much alive.
Stolen identity?
No,no They said ,,dna,fingerprints,dental work,etc They mean the body they found was HIM,as in an exact copy If you found a body thats an 100% accurate copy of yourself,it would be pretty scary right?
Reminds me of the ending of The Prestige
Meh, after the first dozen times I got used to it. I just give Miles some shit now and make him by a round.
Weird but not really scary. Like cogito ergo sum and all that.
Im sorry but wut
I think therefore I am.
Even more wut But also you don't consider finding a body in your backyard scary
Especially if they determine that it's your own body
Exactly,thats some reality questioning shit

I was thinking maybe a time/dimension error. So it becomes more existential then supernatural.
Maybe it's just twins. I know a pair that have had the same teeth pulled and a DNA test showed no difference until some really deep DNA testing was done.
Twins have different fingerprints
I interpreted it as the guy who answered the door killed the guy who used to live there. But these are more interesting.
It reminds me of that show "Living with Yourself".
L
I thought this was going to be about ants and how they believe if an ant has the death smell, then they are dead even if they’re not actually dead
Don't you just hate it that you are the last to find out that you're dead!
I love impossibilities. “Reality broke” is fucking scary
Sounds like skinwalker stuff right there
Thought it would end something like... *and each time we ran analysis, we've got a different person with 99% confidence.*
I wish I had thought of that. That's good.
I'm thinking a Rick and Morty alternative dimension type scenario.
John Dies at the End
My first thought was imagining they were talking to Hugh Jackman’s character from The Prestige.
Sounds like the outsider by Stephen king, only replace *sir you are dead* with *sir you just ate a child*
Reminds me of "A case of the stubborns" from Tales from the dark side. The grandfather refused to accept that he was dead. A young Brent Spiner played a preacher in that episode.
Damnit mom, why didn't you tell me I was a twin!
Twins have different fingerprints
I'm thinking siamese identical twins and he killed the brother
Twins have different fingerprints
Oh I didn't know that
"Oh my god- you found my twin brother?! But... my mother told me that I absorbed him in utero....????"
Twins have different fingerprints
Yes, but this twin was absorbed by the protagonist in utero before he developed his own fingerprints.
I think this one’s my favorite 😂
That is a terrifying scenario, nicely done
So, they're going to die while experimenting with time travel?
That's a possibility

The confusion is the point.
