5/5. In 1974 John Stonehouse left his clothes on a Miami beach and was feared drowned, only to surface in Australia living under an assumed name. Eighteen months later the disgraced Labour MP was sentenced to seven years imprisonment for theft and fraud. Liz Carney charts this remarkable story of "pseudocide."
