Manic Street Preachers' Richey Edwards officially dead
Family get missing guitarist's legal status updated

Nov 24, 2008

Manic Street Preachers' Richey Edwards has officially been declared "presumed
dead".

The guitarist went missing nearly 14 years ago, although his body has never
been found.

Manic Street Preacher失蹤近14年的Richey Edwards已經由官方宣佈"假定死亡"，儘管
他的屍體仍未被發現。

According to the band's spokesperson, Edwards' family have obtained a court
order officially changing his legal status.

They added that the matter was "hugely emotional" for the band, who along
with the guitarist's family are not commenting further at this stage.

A missing person can be declared legally dead after seven years under UK law,
though Edwards parents had previously refused to take this option.

根據英國法律，一個人在失蹤七年後可以被合法宣佈為死亡，雖然Edward的父母先前拒絕
做這件事。

However the family’s lawyer, David Ellis told Walesonline.co.uk that their
change of heart reflected “an acceptance that his affairs have got to be
sorted" and it was "not the same as an acceptance that he is dead”.

Because the guitarist left no will his parents have been granted control of
his estate by the court order. According to reports it is worth ￡455,990,
although that will be reduced to ￡377,548 after death duties are paid.

Manic Street Preachers have continued to pay Edwards' share of band royalties
despite his disappearance.

Edwards went missing on the 1 February 1995, aged 27.

His car was found near the Severn Bridge and it is believed Edwards took his
own life, although there have been a series of alleged sightings of the
guitarist around the globe since his disappearance.

As previously reported on NME.COM, the Manic Street Preachers have indicated
that their next album will feature lyrics entirely written by Richey Edwards,
that were left behind when he disappeared.

Manic Street Preachers表示他們接下來的專輯的歌詞將會用Richey Edwards在失
蹤前所寫的部分

→ lordlpg:國內民法第8條有寫到失蹤滿七年後，利害關係人或檢察官可
