We've all been dealt some low blows when it comes to family feuds, but this bloke's sisters have taken the biscuit.
A man named Callum revealed that his siblings told his parents he had passed away to point score in an argument.
His poor mum and dad thought he was six feet under for six long months due to his sisters' outrageous fib.

He rang up New Zealand's ZM Radio show to detail how his parents thought he had risen from the dead when he finally got in touch. Have a listen to the absolutely wild story here:
In the resurfaced clip, hosts Carl Fletcher, Vaughan Smith and Hayley Sproull were left with their jaws on the floor after listening to the twisted tale.
Callum easily beat other callers with his wild story when he phoned in during a segment where listeners were asked if they had ever been presumed dead.

He began: "Yes, I definitely have been presumed dead, mate.
"My sisters were in a bit of a tiff with my parents at the time and they weren't really getting along.
"I was living in Wellington while they were in Christchurch. My older sister actually called my parents up and told them that I had died."
Although his opening sentences were enough to stun the presenters, the story only continued to get more astonishing.

Callum claimed that his vengeful sisters informed their parents he was dead and buried - and that his ex-girlfriend's parents didn't want them at his funeral.
Visibly taken aback by the layers of lies, Vaughan said: "What! I'm going to say this in the nicest possible way Callum... your sister sounds like a crazy b**ch.
"No offence. Your sister sounds like a top level, red flag, crazy b**ch!"

Keen to dig into the dramatic details, the hosts then asked why Callum had not been in touch with his parents for half a year.
He hilariously responded: "I was just busy with life and work and then I was like wait - I haven't heard from my parents in a while, I wonder what's going on?
"And I gave them a call up and my mum and dad are like 'you're alive?'
"My mum was absolutely in tears and my dad was just kind of gobsmacked - he was just like 'what the f**k is going on?'"

The studio erupted into laughter as he nonchalantly recounted the phone call, which would surely have been enough to put his parents in an early grave.
Carl, Vaughan and Hayley then quizzed the caller on why his parents just casually accepted the news of his passing without questioning it.
"They were kinda like running around calling our other family seeing if they had heard anything, from what I was told," he explained.
"Then they didn't really know anything to go off so my parents just kind of presumed 'yeah he died'."
And if you think his sisters' wickedness couldn't get any worse - it did.
Callum revealed they had told his parent's that he had been stabbed to death.
Vaughan added: "Wait wait wait, you were murdered?
"You're not dead in an accident by your own hand, someone murdered you! This is the wildest phone call we've ever had.
"Were you the sort of person who would have been stabbed?"
Callum then comically responded: "I was not in some gangs but I will say, at the point in time, it wouldn't have been unpeculiar for me to get stabbed."
He went on to explain his mum and dad were 'over the moon' to find out he was in fact alive.
Callum said he rushed back to their home to see them that weekend to 'reassure them it's really me'.
Needless to say, his parents don't really talk to his sisters anymore. I mean, can you blame them?
