An honest attempt thus follows: If we remove the theoretical "I" from an equation it seems a reasonable assumption that the result will be "absence of I". This absent state can then be regarded as an entity (AOI). With the starting assumption that AOI exists I can then require the questioner to prove its non existence, rather than the other way around.
Micah, please prove that my non-existence does not exist in absence of my existence? Clearly this AOI is an example of a "thing" that exists independently of me and will be present after my death, better than that it is actively "proved" by my non-existence - the deader I am the more strongly the case is made.
