A US businessman facing financial problems has apparently faked his own death by bailing out of his plane and letting it crash in a Florida swamp. A rescue operation was launched when Marcus Schrenker made a distress call saying his plane's windscreen had imploded and he was bleeding.

1) Two military planes were scrambled and they found Mr Schrenker's plane flying on autopilot, with its door open and no sign of the pilot.
2) Investigators said the wreckage showed no signs of blood or a smashed windshield.

He should have planned his 'bailout' better!
