Who Is Mercy May? Mercy May is John Darwin’s new wife, the man who earned a name for himself by pretending to die in a canoe accident.

The country was surprised and intrigued by a weird, true story. After amassing £700,000 in debt and being on the edge of bankruptcy, he decided to stage his own death.

He asked his ex-wife Anne to ratify the lie by filing a £250,000 life insurance claim on his behalf.

Then, for years, John hid in a nearby Hartlepool bedsit, visiting his wife through a door that joined the two old houses.

The couple decided to start a new life in Panama after five years.

When it became clear that he couldn’t live or work there without having his identification verified by British authorities, he decided to fake amnesia and show up at a London police station, expecting to resume his normal life.
