Man fakes own death to avoid wedding (Photo)

A young American, Tucker Blandford, 23, faked his own death by telephoning his partner, Alex Lanchester, also 23, and pretending to be his father breaking the bad news so that he could get out of his approaching wedding day…

Lanchester received a phone call just months before her wedding that Blandford had died in a car accident. She then rang the American’s parents to offer her condolences, but they told her he was alive and well. It was then that she realised her fiancé had faked his death to avoid the wedding.

She said: “He has shattered my trust and I’m not sure I’ll ever be in a relationship again. All I ever did was love him. I’m so sick of being messed around and I’m glad to be rid of him.

“Looking back, maybe I was naive. But I really loved him and never thought he would go to such extreme measures to dump me. I’ve cried until I felt numb but now I’m just really angry.

“I’ll be spending our would-be wedding day making new memories without him. He’s a liar and a coward. He had put on a different voice on the phone and pretended to be his grieving father. What sort of sick person does that to his fiancé of two years? It’s sickening.”
