@HopHey...
Yeah, Cody couldn't answer "Would you like a cup of water?" without 16 paragraphs of unrelated rantings and still not get to the point. He's hard to be empathetic towards because he's pretty erratic himself. That and his penchant for wearing Speedos in lieu of shorts.
He cannot answer a simple question, which (for normal people) leads to suspicion about its truthfulness.
It's happened before and, in spite of
@DynamoHum's sources, I'm still not fully convinced.
Kolby, having alternate names, could certainly think a fake death could draw some big GoFundMe rewards. The flaw in my line of thinking is that no one is asking (yet) for the big bucks. I predict costs upwards of $20,000 all the way to $30,000 for the various aspects of post-death cleanup, processing, toxicology, transportation, burial, etc... I don't know how much extra large caskets are either.
Measure twice, cut once.
While I feel bad for Kolby/Cynthia, she put herself in that position. Refusing medication was a biggie. The crucial problem with America since the ACLU fought the government over forced/compulsory hospitalization and medication. Thanks to Hollywood, that was lost. Look at where we're at now.
