Bahrain has been discussed in this forum a lot ;) people even dreamt and got "visions" about it.....
Faking your death has no punishment. The only punishment applies if the faking was to get money out from it (cashing insurance i.e). In case of a "come back" one must pay the costs related (if in any case public related costs are to be paid....and let´s not forget that Janet Jackson paid for the memorial costs of police etc).
If the reason for faking death is purely fraud involving money or Id thef, then, one will be punished.

Man Faked Death To Beat Court Case
Town Name, Cemetery Spelled Wrong On Death Certificate
QuotePolice are searching for Michael Rosen, 42, who is wanted on forgery and counterfeiting charges.
Rosen claimed to be his brother when he went to Salem District Court with what he said was the death certificate, according to Salem police.
It said Rosen had died the week before. A clerk put the certificate in Rosen's file, and the pending case against him was dismissed.
Rosen, who was on probation for other offenses, was arrested months before because he was driving with no license.
When Rosen's probation officer learned of the case being dismissed, he said he was surprised because he had spoken with Rosen earlier and he seemed fine.

Another probation officer noticed the death certificate listed the cause of Rosen's death as "cardio-respiratory" arrest. The officer, whose mother is a nurse, knew the term normally used is "cardiac-respiratory."
The death certificate, which had no raised seal and was printed on the wrong kind of paper, was deemed to be a fake.
Saugus was misspelled on the certificate, and the cemetery was spelled "Temple Isreal" instead of Israel.
The cemetery also confirmed that no one named Michael Rosen was buried there.
Rosen's roommate Daniel Sheehan said Rosen took off in Sheehan's Jeep a few days ago. Rosen called Sheehan on Monday promising to return the vehicle.
As we say in my country:
"every law has a loophole" :P
