Gym owner faked own death, posed as partner to claim nearly $500K insurance payout

A gym owner faked her own death to claim a nearly $500,000 insurance payout as part of an elaborate scheme where she posed as her own partner.

Karen Salš“€š’¾š“š“d, 42, was arrested in March after filing the insurance claim in her partnerā€™s name, falsely saying she had died in a car accident in Broome.

The claim included a series of fabricated documents, such as a death certificate, a Coronerā€™s Court of Western Australia delegate letter, and an investigation record into a death, all of which were fake.
