Did Creed Bratton Fake His Own Death?

It was revealed in the movie that Creed Bratton faked his death 10 years ago for tax reasons and admits that he draws benefits as his widow.

Bratton adopted his new name while on a global excursion as a travelling musician. He travelled through Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
