Husband Faked His Own Death — Why Would Anyone Do That?

It’s no secret the “faking one’s own death” trope is nothing new in film and television. However, many would never expect to encounter such atrocity in real life.

Unfortunately, for TikTok creator @anessarossii (Anessa Rossi), her life became something out of a horror movie when she learned her husband staged his death and his family helped him cover his tracks.

Not only that, but his reasoning for committing such a cruel act was the last thing the creator expected. Here’s what went down.

In Anessa’s viral video, she explained the entire backstory of how she discovered her husband had faked his death while they were in the midst of their divorce.

According to the creator, the Miami Police Department contacted her in January 2023 and told her they had recovered her husband’s dead body after he seemingly committed suicide.

Even though Anessa and her partner had separated by then, she and her family still planned his funeral. However, because the creator was on “bad terms” with her ex’s family, she stayed in California while they took over funeral planning in Florida.

To make matters worse, her husband’s family told Anessa not to attend the services because it would be “too traumatic” considering they were going through a divorce before his unexpected passing.

Despite not attending her husband’s funeral, the creator revealed that she still talked to a coroner’s office and funeral home and even paid for funeral arrangements.

Not only that, but she was so guilt-ridden about her husband’s suicide that she contemplated taking her life because she believed his death was her fault. But in March 2023, she received new information that turned her life upside down.
