An Australian woman recently went into complete shock after she bumped into her boyfriend whom she believed was dead at a restaurant.

Rachel (18) was told her boyfriend had died and she had not reason not to believe that.

Two years later, she bumped into her former lover at a local restaurant.

Rachel was 18 years-old when she started dating the chef who worked at the local pub.

He reportedly paid some of the money back, but when they broke up a few months later he refused to pay the rest and stopped replying to her messages.

Following that furniture was gone, bed was gone, everything was gone, where the boyfriend lived.

“The initial story was he’d gone to rehab in Queensland.”

According to the publication, she wasn’t completely convinced by this, but before she had time to investigate, her ex’s mum messaged her to say her son had died.

Rachel grieved the loss “in her own way” and eventually moved on.

While back in her hometown with a friend, she stopped by a restaurant where she was shocked to discover her ex-boyfriend, very much alive and working there.

“I just went into shock,” she recalls.

But before she could confront him about it all, Rachel was asked to leave the restaurant.
