If we consider the Netflix documentary, it sounds like Gerry Cotton is dead. But many people still believe he faked his death. Let’s hear some theories which might confirm that Cotton really faked his death.
The first reason was the funeral was in a closed casket. The second one was people rarely die because of Crohn’s disease. Even on the death certificate of Gerry Cotton, his name was misspelled. But, we saw in the documentary, a journalist Nathan Vanderklippe from Globe and Mail has traveled to India to talk over to the last doctor, who was treating him.

Dr. Sharma from India claims Cotton visited the hospital because of vomiting and diarrhea. As he was suffering from traveler’s diarrhea, doctors kept him in the hospital. They get to know his history of Crohn’s disease, mostly which is not deadly. He suffered from three cardiac arrests. The doctors were able to rescue him the first two times, but the last one.
In today’s world, everything can be fake. So, some people will not believe Gerry is dead unless they see a body, and even then, they might demand DNA testing. For more information, stream the documentary on Netflix.
