See, what you'd have to do is pretend it's some earthbreaking reality show like Ed TV, where every waking moment of someone's life is filmed. You'd need their enitre family and all their friends to commit to being filmed for like 1 month straight wether or not the Ed TV guy is present.
Then a week into it, fake the guy's death, but have the producers say that the show must go on. That Ed would have wanted it, and that everyone is contractually bound to be filmed. All the cameras are there.
Then you can have some plant pull zany stunts and ruin the funeral and make everyone cry.
Then near the end of the month, somehow get everyone together (maybe schedule shooting to begin near his birthday or a wedding or something) for some get together and have him show up, and crying and anger and hilarity will ensue.
The identifying the body would be the best part.
I really need to start putting pen to paper on this script.
