Understand why this man pretended to be in a coma for 2 years

A police case in Swansea, Wales, caught the attention of the world: Alan Knight, 47, spent more than two years pretending to be in a coma.

The “little lie” was invented after Knight struck an elderly neighbor and pocketed 40, 000 pounds from the victim. In order not to pay what he owed, he decided to fall into a coma after a neck fracture. For two years.

It turns out that not only was Knight not in a coma but he was eventually caught by doctors, who came to the patient's room and found him eating and even writing. In addition, the liar was caught by the security cameras of a supermarket, pushing a shopping cart.

Knight's lie was endorsed by his wife, Helen, who even took pictures with her “sick” husband. After Knight's plan failed, he eventually confessed to all the crimes of theft and forgery, which he will soon pay in prison.
