A woman was stunned when she discovered that her ex-boyfriend who she was told had died was working in a restaurant she visited.
The girlfriend, called Rachel, and boyfriend, who won't be named for legal reasons, were 18 and 21 respectively when they started dating.
A few months into their relationship, he returned home from a night out with a broken hand which prevented him from working as a chef in a local pub. He asked Rachel to borrow him $1,000 AUD (£530/$680 USD) to make ends meet.
Some time later, the pair split and she was given $300 (£159/$204 USD) back before her now ex-boyfriend went off the radar.
Initially, she was told that he'd gone to rehab but then claimed that friends calculated that the boyfriend owed more than $2,300 (£1,200/$1,500 USD) to both his ex-girlfriend and friends.
Rachel then received news from a mutual friend that her ex had died, according to MailOnline. She explained: "It sounds stupid in retrospect, but you don't have any reason to question it. If I called you and told you my mum I'd died, you wouldn't be like, 'give me a death certificate'."
The man's mum had explained to people that her son was murdered because he was in debt to a bike gang.
Then two years after finding out about the 'death', Rachel and her friend went to a restaurant where her ex-boyfriend's brother worked.
She asked the waitress whether he was working and she responded: "No, but his brother is," going on to say the name of Rachel's old boyfriend. She said she 'just went into shock'.
