Difficult indeed. This happened to a guy in Ohio - he just up and left, and was declared dead in absentia.
He wasn't charged with anything because he never pretended to be dead (and also because he was legally dead and therefore tricky to prosecute). But, he went before a judge and totally failed to get the declaration reversed. Last I heard, he's still just dead for legal purposes.
