A healthy and lively French woman spent nearly 3 years trying to convince the French authorities of this “officially”, which she finally succeeded in achieving, years after the court announced her death.
For the French administration, Jean Boucheen, a 58-year-old woman from Saint Joseph, near Lyon, has not been around or alive since 2017, following a long-running legal dispute involving a former employee of her cleaning company.
“I went to see a lawyer who told me that the problem would be resolved quickly, and I also went to my doctor who confirmed that I was still alive. But because there was a [legal] ruling, it wasn’t enough,” Poshin told reporters.
Poshin’s lawyer, Sylvain Cormer, was surprised by her “exaggerated death,” noting that Poshin’s story was a “crazy story,” indicating that he did not believe it and that he had never considered that “the judge would announce someone’s death without a death certificate.” The plaintiff claimed that Mrs. Bushen died, without providing any evidence, and everyone believed her, without anyone confirming the truth of this report.
The Lyon Court of Appeals decided that Poshin was no longer present (she died) in November 2017 after more than a decade of legal battles, with a disgruntled former employee at her cleaning company.
In 2004 an industrial court ordered Pusheen to pay salaries to the former employee, who reportedly quit her job when Pusheen lost a major cleaning contract, around 14,000 euros in compensation.
