I´m not dead

Four years ago, Jeanne Pouchain´s husband got a letter from a court which said that his wife died, and he had to pay her debts. It was a crazy moment for the man because his wife was standing next to him.

The court´s mistake meant that the woman was legally dead. The woman started a long fight with authorities to prove that she was alive. Pouchain lost work, and she did not have a valid ID and social security card. It meant that she could not go to the doctor and dentist, and her health started to get worse.

Pouchain´s family spent all their savings on court costs, and the court even took some of their things. Now, it seems that the court may look at Pouchain´s case again, and she could finally feel alive again.
