Why do families dispute a death?
Disputes over a person's death, especially a public figure like a footballer, can stem from various factors. Grief can lead to denial, or there might be financial motives related to inheritance or insurance. Sometimes, it's a genuine belief based on perceived inconsistencies in the official account, leading to long-running family rifts.
