France Proof of Life

This undated image provided on Jan. 15, 2021 by Pierre-Jean Pouchain shows Jeanne Pouchain. Jeanne Pouchain is officially dead and has been trying for nearly three years to prove that she is alive. Pouchain’s deceased status has prevented her and her husband, her legal beneficiary now that she’s dead, from using their joint bank account, and she is deprived of other critical amenities of the living.
