A body of an elderly homeless man was discovered behind the back of a
fast food joint in downtown.
There was no identification on the body;
the only possessions the old man had on him were a faded photograph of
the Houses of Parliament in London, a dented tin containing a small
quantity of marijuana and a battered old guitar.

The authorities turned to Jamaica’s national DNA database. When the
results came back from the lab they were shocking…
Jacob Chambers, the chief coroner said:
My colleague came running into my office waving a piece of paper in the
air. ‘You’re not going to believe this,’ he shouted… “The DNA test
reveled that the old man police had discovered behind the fast food
restaurant was reggae superstar … BOB MARLEY.” I couldn’t believe it.”
“I stared at the results wide-eyed,” Chambers admits. “My jaw dropped to
the floor. This had to be a mistake.”
Bob Marley had died from cancer in 1981 as he made his way back to
Jamaica by plane from Germany. But if that was true then why was his
elderly body lying on a slab in a downtown Jamaican morgue? Chambers
could come up with only one explanation:
I thought somebody was playing a joke on us, and told my assistant to
label the body as ‘persons unknown’. So it could be cremated by the
authorities. But then things got really weird.
That afternoon, the coroners office was visited by men in sunglasses,
wearing dark suits and called themselves ‘government officials’. They
confirmed that the body was indeed that of the late reggae legend, and
that Marley’s death had been faked back in 1981 on his own request
because he was tired of all the attention he was getting and just wanted
to live the quiet life of a street busker in Jamaica, earning enough
for food, reggae tapes for his Walkman and cannabis. The Jamaican
government agreed to go along with Marley’s plan, as they would receive
the royalties from his most successful album, Exodus.

According to Chambers the ‘government officials’ took the body of
Marley, along with the DNA results and other reports. They warned him
keep quiet about the matter or he would face ‘serious consequences’.
“I couldn’t stay silent about this, despite having no evidence because
the government took it all away to a secret location somewhere,
n 1981, and i am not going to keep that a secret
just because some shady officials told me to. The truth must be heard,
even if that means i face ‘serious consequences’ by the government” Says
a defiant Chambers.
