A Sub-Trope of Playing Possum where a character is either in or puts themselves in a pile of dead bodies, either on purpose to avoid being found or as a result of the carnage around them. If the person this happens to is a child, it definitely falls under Harmful to Minors and can be a Freudian Excuse for a mentally ill character, since it's pretty much by definition a traumatizing experience. If a character uses this tactic on purpose to conceal themselves so they can attack, expect them to be a Combat Pragmatist at best and a Dirty Coward at worst, and if other characters see them doing this, they may react with disgust, since it's both disrespectful to the dead and dirty fighting. Compare Atop a Mountain of Corpses, which is usually more triumphant but may begin with a character being buried within it. Waking Up at the Morgue is thematically related. Not to be confused with Pretend We're Dead, where a living character pretends to be undead. |

One of the events in Diablo III is a fight with a pack of Hell Hounds in a cellar full of rotting bodies. After the hounds are defeated, a civilian will crawl out from under one of the body heaps and thank you for saving him. From the same game, Myriam hides from the Reapers in a pile of mummified corpses, knowing thanks to her psychic abilities that the player character will come along in time to save her. | |

The prologue of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has a segment where Snake and Ishmael, cornered by XOF soldiers in a hallway, hide among the bodies of a dozen or so hospital patients and staff in hopes of the soldiers mistaking them for dead. It becomes apparent that this wasn't such a good idea when they start shooting the corpses as they move down the hall... | |

Detroit: Become Human: Kara and Alice (and Luther, if he's still alive) can potentially escape death in the Battle for Detroit - Kara Captured route by climbing into one of the trucks transporting dead androids to a landfill. Kara can also do this on her own, leaving her family behind, if she so chooses. In From the Dead, Markus can try to salvage an optical unit from the head of a dead android. Choosing this particular component results in him digging the head out of a pile of scrap, only to realise that he's disturbed a crate full of broken parts, which he then has to climb out of. |

This happens in the Dragon Ball prequel movie Bardock: The Father of Goku. When Frieza first begins The Purge of the Saiyans, he sends Dodoria to kill off Bardock and his squad. When Dodoria launches a final Ki Manipulation on Bardock, the force of it sweeps up the dead bodies of Bardock's squad and he winds up badly injured and buried beneath them. This actually saves his life, since Dodoria assumes Bardock is dead and flies off. | |

Mentioned on King of the Hill when Cotton is accused of setting a fire on the church bathroom, which he blames on "the man with the terrible smell" (actually Bobby, who got sick from eating too much lutefisk). He talks about how he spent two weeks buried under a pile of corpses at Iwo Jima and says that what he smelled at the church bathroom was much worse. | |

They only failed to kill her because she used her magic to mentally flee her body to escape the pain making them think she'd died of the injuries they'd already inflicted on her. | |

Jason in Far Cry 3 survives being shot by Vaas at one point thanks to a lighter in his pocket. Vaas, believing him dead, leaves him at the bottom of a mass grave, and Jason is forced to dig his way out through the bodies.

Billion Dollar Brain. Harry Palmer takes part in a raid with a group of Latvian members of La Résistance, gets knocked unconscious by a Soviet soldier and wakes up in the bathroom of a Soviet army base among the Latvians whose bodies have been piled into a bathtub. It's done more as a warning than anything else, as the KGB quickly arrive to clean Harry up and take him to their boss. | |

Judge Dredd: Zigzagged Trope. After Necropolis, Judge Death hides among the mountain of corpses of his own victims to avoid the manhunt for him. However, he's already a zombie to begin with, so he describes the experience as quite pleasant. In Dominion and The Torture Garden, Rosco evades the Dark Judges several times by hiding among the piles of corpses they've created. The first time, she had simply been knocked out during the slaughter and got lucky, the second time it's intentional on her part. |

In the Empath: The Luckiest Smurf story "Smurfed Behind: Smurfing In Heaven", after Empath thinks he has died and has been brought to the Smurfs' version of heaven (Elysium) and there is offered the mantle of godhood but rejects it out of disgust of what his fellow Smurfs have become in the afterlife, the Smurfs all turn into rotting corpses and pile on top of Empath so fast that he finds himself falling from Elyisum and down deep into the earth to the other afterlife destination, Tartarus. Empath eventually breaks through the pile of Smurf corpses he was buried under and reduces them all to dust, discovering that they were not really his fellow Smurfs at all, but magical constructs created by somebody. | |

In Y: The Last Man (2021), Agent 355 needs to sneak Yorick out of the most secure building in the country, the Pentagon (where the rest of the Executive Branch, president incuded, holed up), and does so by hiding him under the bodies of male victims of the Gendercide as they are removed en masse. As soon as they're clear Yorick stands up as quickly as he can, clearly disgusted. | |

Flippy from Happy Tree Friends had to hide inside the corpse of his dead friend and fellow soldier as the Tiger General's forces walk by. This causes him to snap and develop an Ax-Crazy Split Personality that emerges to try and murder everyone around him when something reminds Flippy of the war. | |

In Rurouni Kenshin, the young Kenshin, then known as Shinta, was briefly in one when the girls he was being held by slavers with protected him with their bodies when a group of bandits ambushed them and started killing them. This left him with a Thousand-Yard Stare that his eventual master Hiko Seijurou took note of and made Hiko decide to take him in since he was never going to be able to return to a normal life after experiencing that. | |

It was only a single body, but the backstory of Hanako in Katawa Shoujo had this happen to her when her mother shielded her with her own body when their house burned down. This incident left Hanako with heavy emotional and physical scarring that have left her a Shrinking Violet in the present day. | |
