John Darwin has revealed in his memoirs that he almost killed himself while faking his own death in a canoeing accident.
Darwin, who became known as the 'Canoe man', wrote all about his bizarre tale while in jail serving his sentence for the £500,000 life insurance fraud. He sparked a huge search back in 2002 after he "vanished" in his kayak.
But the ex-teacher and prison officer was alive and well and lived as a "dead man’" for five years with wife Anne, 69, first in a room hidden by a wardrobe. Now 71, Darwin has spoken about the day he went out to sea in his memoirs, the Mirror reports.
