"I am a doctor and I am not afraid of death. Death is just a moment. I would rather face death with open arms than live in shame, being forcibly covered with a veil. I will not submit to those who expect me to repent for my half-century struggle for equality between men and women. I'm not ready to wear a veil and step back into the past."

David Blaine, 22, returned home after delivering newspapers on the morning of June 20, 1994, to find that all his family members had been shot dead at their family home in Dunedin, New Zealand.

It was David who became the main suspect - a rifle was found at the crime scene where only his fingerprints were found. The man was accused of trying to take the inheritance and sentenced to life in prison.

David insisted on his innocence and achieved it, but only in 2009 - it turned out that his father killed the whole family, who shot himself there. He just wore gloves and did everything professionally.

The government paid the man $1 million in compensation. But it didn't help much considering the horror David had been through. In 2023, on July 12, he died at the age of 51.
