From TV Tropes: "In India, it's popular to bribe an official to declare a relative dead so that you can inherit his property. It has all the advantages of murder without the unpleasant messiness."
Apparently, this happens often enough that there is an Association of Dead People...some of whom try to prove they are alive by getting arrested at protests.
One can only imagine the chaos if zombies and other undead were real...
