United States DC Circuit
FULLER v. AM. FED'N OF LABOR & CONGRESS OF INDUS. ORG., 02-7043
Once the presumption of death is triggered after a person has disappeared for seven years, the decedent is not presumed to have been alive during those seven years. The only presumption is that decedent is dead, and the date of death becomes a question of fact.
