Man Hides in Coffin to Avoid Drunk Driving Punishment; Family Involves in Fake Funeral

A Chinese man accused of drunk driving conspired with his family to fake his death and flee to another region, but was eventually arrested by police. The man, who had previously been penalized for two instances of drunk driving, staged his death by preparing a coffin, spreading pills, and using cooling equipment to mimic a drug overdose. His family concealed his face with cloth and expedited funeral procedures, allowing him to flee to Yunnan Province. Authorities later uncovered inconsistencies in death certification and administrative procedures, leading to his arrest after a four-month evasion period. He received a five-month prison sentence and a fine, while his mother and grandmother face charges for concealing his identity.
