BRITISH FATHER FAKES DEATH TO AVOID PAYING SUPPORT TO HIS NINTH BABY

LONDON, U.K - A 25-year-old unemployed British man who boasts that he has slept with more than 40 women, faked his death in order to avoid paying child support.
Pretending to be someone else, Keith MacDonald, who has nine children with eight different women, sent a text message to his current pregnant girlfriend, Clare Bryant, telling her that “Keith is dead.”
Bryant, who is due on May 3, said she also received messages from a woman claiming to be MacDonald’s sister confirming the news.

• For two weeks, 22-year-old Bryant believed the father of her two children was dead until MacDonald contacted her to say he had made up the story. When asked why, MacDonald allegedly said he was tired of everyone hassling him and he wanted to get away from his life and start over.
• Some reports say MacDonald, who pays $7 a week in child support to each kid from the $55 a week check he gets from government, may have fathered up to 15 children with 14 mothers.

Bryant, who also has a one-year-old child with MacDonald, says she cannot forgive MacDonald for lying to her and she refuses to see him now.
