Gil Cohen Magen/EPA Romanian court rules man is dead — and he’s not happy Man in his 60s filed his appeal against being declared dead too late.

A Romanian court told a man that he is dead, despite his claims to the contrary.

Constantin Reliu, 63, lost the case in the north-eastern city of Vaslui because he filed his appeal against being officially registered as dead too late, a court spokesperson said. The ruling is final, the Associated Press reported.

“The papers say I am dead, even though I am alive. I have no source of income since my papers show I am dead, I cannot get a job, I cannot do anything in the country,” Reliu said, according to Romania-Insider.

The website reported that he moved to Turkey in 1992, and last visited his family in 1999. In 2013, his wife asked the court to declare him dead, since she had not heard from him. He was officially declared dead in 2016.
