SINGAPORE — A man's adult sons knew him as «Abdul Rahman Bin Majid» only to find out after his death that he had assumed someone else's identity. Investigations revealed that the real Abdul Rahman Bin Majid, who has the same identity card number as the dead man, is still alive and has been living at a home since 1994 due to chronic schizophrenia, court documents said. Fingerprints taken from the real Abdul Rahman matched the ones linked to the identity card while those taken from the dead man could not be found in the local database. In his findings uploaded online on May 14, State Coroner Adam Nakhoda said that the identity of the dead man, who died of coronary artery disease and an enlarged heart, remains unknown. Recording an open verdict on the case, he said the man's 10 fingerprints were sent to Malaysian and Indonesian authorities for comparison with their national databases. Both jurisdictions later replied that there was no match in their databases. His fingerprints were also sent to Thai authorities for comparison on Aug 15, 2023.
