A standard comedic misunderstanding, in which Alice announces that Bob "is no longer with us", "has moved on", "was transferred upstairs", "joined the silent majority" etc. Considering how many euphemisms for death there are in modern language, everyone naturally assumes that Bob has died. Turns out, Alice was speaking literally and Bob has just left for work, earned a promotion, or gone on vacation. He's left us for a better place — Palm Springs.
Sometimes Alice does this for intentional dark humor (the other characters are usually not amused), but if she's enough of a ditz, or she's picked up the Idiot Ball, she'll often have no idea why the others are so shocked. I mean, isn't "The Silent Majority" A Good Name for a Rock Band? And Bob's lead guitar!
A lesser used inversion is that Bob really is dead, but the listeners don't pick up on Alice's euphemisms. This is usually less comedic and more tragic, but not always.
See also Never Say "Die", He Didn't Make It, and Double Speak. Particularly crazy examples (think the Monty Python's Flying Circus Parrot Sketch) can cross over into Unusual Euphemism and Hurricane of Euphemisms. May involve a "Rear Window" Investigation. If the character is still around but the "euphemisms" suggest he's going to die, it overlaps with Mistaken for Dying. A Premature Eulogy may result. If the character himself tries to set the record straight, the others may respond "Not Now, We're Too Busy Crying Over You." If the character applies this trope to themself, it might be combined with That Man Is Dead. If the terms "dead", "murdered" or the like are being used to describe something innocuous, this also may count as an Unusual Dysphemism.
Subtrope of Imagined Innuendo and Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated. Sister Trope to Released to Elsewhere, which uses the same sort of euphemisms intentionally to cover up a death.

Happens in Ye Little Hills Like Lambs in the Village Tales series, when the Duke mentions that the aged Lord Mallerstang (whose ancestral hall had been being restored and refurbished) had Gone Home At Last, and Teddy and Edmond wax all sympathetic. His Grace points out, with his usual asperity, that he's not, damn it all, middle class, and that, God damn his soul, had Hugo Mallerstang died, don't y' know, he'd have damned well said he'd damned well died. Damn it all.

In the Gone series, every adult literally vanishes. The kids simply refer to them as "gone" and other euphemisms, but the assumption is that they did not survive whatever happened. Then in book three, it turns out they might actually just be on the other side of the dome, although nothing has been confirmed yet and the scenes were from Orsay's point of view.

In The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Will had gone to the hospital to get his tonsils removed, and befriended an elderly man named Max. After escaping, and returning to the hospital, he found Max was gone. Asking the nurse, she replied "He's gone off to a better place." (To be fair, the nurse did imply he was dead by sighing, but then it shows what she thinks about her own workplace.) After Will had his tonsils removed, Max returned to his hospital room looking for his lucky hat. "Max, I thought you died." "I did die... in Pittsburgh!" It turns out "gone to a better place" meant sent to a hospital with cable in the patient's rooms.

Sluggy Freelance:
"Something happened to Zoë." The cast is let in on the joke a while before the reader is.
An earlier example. That one's a sort of Double Subversion — we find out later the agreement was written by someone with an equally poor understanding of human colloquialisms, and really did mean he was to be set free.

One of the bonus comics in Magic Knight Rayearth has the girls telling each other about their families. When Hikaru says she has four older brothers, Umi assumes she has six people in the house, but she's corrected to five because "I don't have Dad around anymore." Cue the other two gasping in shock, only for Hikaru to blithely say that her dad's away on a training journey, apparently because he can't believe he lost to the toddler Hikaru at a kendo match.

In chapter 44 of A Centaur's Life, Shino's classmate Mii says that her dog Ichiro "went away" and "is up in the sky" leading Shino to think that the dog has died and to treat Mii extra kindly. Ichiro turns up alive at the end: he'd been staying at a kennel while the family looked for an apartment that allowed pets.

My Brother's Husband: Yaichi keeps a photo of his ex-wife Natsuki from when their currently school-age daughter Kana was a baby on display. He's also the one with Kana's custody because he has a source of revenue that lets him stay at home most of the day, while his ex-wife has a very busy job. This, combined with Kana's poor choice of words when telling him about her, causes both Mike and the reader to assume Natsuki is dead. When Natsuki drops by for a visit, she understands that the photo could have been misleading.

The Simpsons:
"Lisa's Wedding": Marge sadly mentions that she wishes that Homer were still there to see Lisa getting married... but he left for work shortly beforehand.
Another episode has "The one you call Milhouse is gone.... he went to his grandma's place while we're spraying for potato bugs."
"Bart of Darkness" (a parody of Hitchcock's Rear Window): Bart's assumption that Ned killed Maude is reinforced when he overhears Ned telling his sons, "She's with God now." What he meant was that she was away on a religious retreat.
When Bart sells Santa's Little Helper and later tries to get him back, he tracks him down to the church. Rev. Lovejoy says that the dog is "no longer among us", but he just means they had given him to a blind man. In the same episode, Groundskeeper Willie tells Bart that he bought Santa's Little Helper... and "I ATE him." But it turns out Willie has difficulty pronouncing "H". (He then notes how he "ate the mess he left on me floor"... and then clearly pronounces "you heard me!")
"A Fish Called Selma": Some mobsters are surprised to see Troy McClure in a restaurant, because they interpreted Fat Tony's comment that he's sleeping with the fishes as an euphemism for death. Tony meant something rather different.
"Lisa's Date with Density": Nelson beats up Milhouse, who is then carried away on a stretcher. Lisa tearfully tries to apologize to him, but the paramedic replies that he can't hear her now — because they had to pack his ears with gauze.
In one episode, Bart and Lisa are caught going through Sideshow Bob's dumpster. Cut to him showing up at their house and telling Marge that her children "are no more... than a couple of ill-bred troublemakers!"
In another episode, Abe is seriously ill and lying in hospital: "I'm going to a better place — Shelbyville hospital!" (tries to leave his bed)
"The Boys of Bummer": At the beginning, Ned is wearing a black armband and tells the kids to win the game for Groundskeeper Willie... because he made the armband for him.
"The Haw-Hawed Couple": Near the end, Nelson dives into a lake to save Bart from drowning, with the high likelihood that he would die in the attempt. When Bart is revived, he is told by Principal Skinner that "Nelson never woke up"... because he'd never gone to sleep and was perfectly alright.

Zig-zagged with the departure of Miguel Ferrer from NCIS: Los Angeles. Hetty goes to the hospital to visit Granger, but finds an empty bed; when she asks after him, the nurse says "he's gone." Cue shocked look on Hetty's face...followed by the nurse saying that he had simply pulled out his tubes, gotten dressed and left on his own. He wrote her a note saying that he didn't want to waste his remaining time in a hospital bed, and left it to her to explain his absence to the team. All this was done in response to the real-life passing of Ferrer in early 2017.

Arrested Development: A Running Gag with the Literal-Minded Doctor Fishman:
When George Sr. is in hospital at the end of the first season, Fishman reports to the family that "we lost him" and that he "got away from us", in a solemn tone. When they go into George Sr.'s room, they learn that what the doctor meant is that he escaped out the window because he didn't want to go back to prison.
Later, after Tobias has been hit by a car Doctor Fishman reports on his status with the words that "It looks like he's dead." Most of them react as you'd expect, but Michael, probably remembering him from the previous episode, asks, "Just to be clear, 'looks like he's dead' or 'he is dead'?" Fishman then clarifies that Tobias just looks like a corpse because he had painted himself blue prior to the accident, but is going to be fine.
Reversed when Buster is in hospital. Fishman seemingly tells them he's "going to be alright", everyone reacting with relief and George-Michael remarking, "There's no other way to take that!" It's then revealed that he's lost his left hand, so he's "going to be all right".
He tells Lucille that Buster went down piloting a plane that crashed in Afghanistan (was piloting it remotely, fainting when the machine crashed), but the Army gave him a "big hand" (a super-high tech prosthetic hand).
And the time Michael is in the hospital, the doctor tells Lucille that it's "too late for me to do anything for your son"... But again, Michael has learned to anticipate this, and quickly asks the others to let Fishman finish talking before they jump to any conclusions; as it turns out, Fishman cannot do anything more for Michael because another doctor has been assigned to his case.

Toward the end of Planetes, an episode ends with Tanabe running out of air on the surface of the moon with no hope of rescue. The next episode picks up Hachimaki's story without resolving Tanabe's until Hachi visits his old friends in the debris section, who casually refer to conditions "since we lost Tanabe". Turns out she was rescued but was on extended leave of absence until she was well enough to work again.

"Batty Baseball", a Tex Avery cartoon, shows the name of a baseball stadium at where the cartoon takes place, W.C. Field. A caption pops up suddenly reading "The guy who thought up this corny gag isn't with us anymore." (Whether it means the staff killed him or he was fired is up for interpretation.)

Series one of The Catherine Tate Show featured the character of an unhelpful information-desk worker in a shopping centre. In one episode she is approached by a customer who has "lost her mother", and the information-desk worker replies that she is sorry to hear this, but it turns out the customer has just got separated from her mother in the store.

Famously and Heartbreakingly inverted in the Sesame Street episode "Goodbye, Mr. Hooper". Big Bird misunderstands the euphemisms the grownups are using as to what happened to Mr. Hooper, and figures he's gone away for a little while and will be back soon. They have to sit down with him and explain gently but explicitly that no, Mr. Hooper is dead and can't come back.

Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts: In "Real Cats Wear Plaid", when the Lumbercats first talk about how they miss Yumyan Hammerpaw, they motion upward towards the forest canopy, causing Kipo and the others to assume that he's dead. It's only later that day, when she's trying to win them over by joining in on a song about how great he was, that they clarify that he's literally somewhere in the forest canopy; it's just that no one has the courage to go up and retrieve him.

She meant that they're living in a space station. However, the show implies elsewhere that they died and Charlotte chooses to interpret their absence in a positive way and does not understand death.

Wanting nothing to do with Maren and very tight-lipped on the subject of Maren's mother, the grandmother will only say that she's "no longer with us."

Of course, she really means that she's being sent home from the hospital to die. However, Laura, being eight, thinks Mary means that she's still alive, just in a literal on-Earth quiet, beautiful place.

In A Brother's Price, when it is announced that Jerin will leave, his youngest sister says, she doesn't want him to go away "just like papa did" ... and has to be explained that her father died, while Jerin will eventually come back for a visit once he's married.

Ascendance of a Bookworm: After one of her early relatively educated opponents dies, there is an attempt on the protagonist's part to inform one of the deceased's less-educated allies of the fact. The first message she sends uses the standard noble Deadly Euphemism, "Climbing up the towering stairway". When the less-educated ally responds by trying to contact the deceased with an actual letter, the protagonist correctly guesses the euphemism wasn't properly understood and mistaken for the news that the deceased got a promotion.

Steven Universe spent much of its run being ambiguous about this. It's said that Rose Quartz "gave up her physical form" to have Steven, instead of plainly saying that she's dead. Granted, this is literal: her gem (which is the core of a Gem's physiology) is embedded in Steven's stomach, no one really knows what would happen to Steven if was removed, and none of his family or allies have any interest in testing that. When Steven has his Gem removed by White Diamond in the series finale "Change Your Mind", it manifests as another Steven, finally confirming that Rose is gone for good, at least as long as Steven is still alive.

Fate responds that Alicia is now "beyond the skies"... which the Literal-Minded Dumb Muscle Levi assumed to mean that Alicia's currently staying in another world (a fairly plausible interpretation in fairness, due to The Multiverse setting).

In Yes, Minister, Humphrey says "I'm on my way out.", that there comes a time when "one passes on to pastures new, perhaps greener", and that "one has to accept what fate has in store, when one passes on". The Minister asks when he found out, whether he's told his wife, and how long they gave him ("Oh, just a few weeks... but it will give me enough time to sort everything out"). When the Minister says that Humphrey is taking it well, Humphrey replies that he's "a little anxious, of course", but that although "one is always a little wary of the unknown, but I have faith somehow I will muddle through". It transpires, of course, that he's talking about a promotion that will take him away from the department. The Minister tries to pretend he hadn't been about to cry.

Similar to the Barney Miller episode above is the M*A*S*H episode "A Full, Rich Day", where this trope gets a full workout. Along with the other insanity currently going on at the 4077thnote  An Axe-Crazy Turkish soldier who refuses to be treated and just wants to go back to the front; a US lieutenant holding the doctors hostage until his buddy gets bumped to the top of the triage queue the doctors lose a soldier from Luxembourg. In both senses of the term — Pvt. LeClerque died, and the 4077th can't find his body. Which becomes awkward when his CO comes back wanting to retrieve his body personally for burialnote  As Luxembourg is a tiny nation, every one of its sons is precious to them and they want him back for burial with honors. Of course, Col. Blake pours on the diplomacy when he declares "We lose them all the time.". In the end, it becomes purely this trope, as LeClerque is found — completely alive. When to mollify the Luxemburgisch colonel they play the Luxembourg national anthem as part of a memorial service, LeClerque (who'd been in a full body cast and therefore repeatedly overlooked) gets out of bed and walks under his own power to his CO.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: when the player first meets Tatsu's family, his father is absent, and several comments are made as to him not having been around for a while. Lin assumes Tatsu's father is dead, but it's later revealed he's actually just on a long journey to repay debts he owes and hasn't been home in a while.

In Terry Pratchett's Hogfather: Death plays with the trope when explaining what happened to the Hogfather: There isn't an entirely appropriate human word. Let's settle for... gone. Since the Hogfather is the personification of a collective human imagination, he's not exactly dead, but he's also not currently existent either. In some adaptations Death does describe him as "dead", but keeps the line about this not being an appropriate word for what happened to him.

In Case Closed, when Conan first finds out who Ai really is, he demands to know what she's doing at the professor's house. Ai replies that the professor is "no longer in this world", Conan barges into his house... and sees him on the Internet. (It was written at the dialup age, so websurfing occupies the phone line.)

In Hareguu (the sequel manga to Hare+Guu), this is how Robert comes to believe his parents are dead. One day, he came to visit his ill mother at the hospital, but found her room empty. His father told him tearfully she "had to go somewhere far away", but "someday we will be together again". Robert interpreted that as his mother dying, while in reality, she literally had to go to a more distant hospital to fully recover. Later, Robert receives a phone call from his father, during which he hears gunshots and his father saying that "I will go where your mother is"—referring to the hospital. Robert obviously interpreted this as his father preparing to die.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Justice For All has Wright talk as though Edgeworth was dead up until the final case. In reality he was on a soul searching journey overseas. Of course, he did leave behind a note saying "Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth chooses death", so maybe Phoenix really did think he was dead.

In the second Temeraire book, Throne of Jade, a badly injured and slightly delirious Laurence sends a note to his dragon Temeraire which reads "Never fear; I am going; the Son of Heaven will not tolerate delays, and Barham gives me leave. Allegiance will carry us!" Temeraire freaks out, but Laurence is only talking about going to China ("the Son of Heaven" referring to the emperor, and Allegiance being the ship they're to travel on).

Tiny Toon Adventures: In one episode, after her hamster dies and her grandmother leaves town on vacation, Elmyra is taken to the school nurse, where she's reduced to tears and sputters out the above. The nurse assumes, and tells everyone, that the grandmother is dead. That's the biggest case in the episode, though; most of the misunderstandings through the rest of the episode have the characters clearly talking about death (just of the wrong character.)

Doctor Who:
The Doctor's first encounter with Donna Noble happens right after he's just said goodbye to Rose Tyler, who's trapped on a parallel Earth. When he tells Donna about how he recently (in-universe) "lost" a friend, she automatically assumes he means Rose died. Later, however, he has to rescue Donna from a taxi being driven by a robotic Santa and has to get her to trust him. She demands to know if Rose trusted him, to which the Doctor replies:
Inverted in “Dark Water.� When the Doctor tells her “Go to Hell,� Clara naturally assumes he means “go away and don’t come back.� Instead, he’s surprised she didn’t take it literally when he offered to show her the afterlife.
When the Doctor reconnects with the Noble-Temple family in "The Star Beast", he asks where Donna's grandfather Wilfred is, and is told "he's no longer with us". He immediately expresses his condolences, and is on the verge of tears before being told by Donna that Wilf's still alive, he's just moved to a sheltered accommodation run by Kate Stewart and UNIT. (By coincidence, Wilf's actor Bernard Cribbins passed away between filming and airing, which means this also qualifies as Character Outlives Actor.)

In a The Broons story, Maw and the Bairn get on the bus but can't sit next to each other because it's crowded. As they pass the cemetery, the Bairn tells the woman she's sitting next to that her Grandpaw is in there and can't play with her. The woman feels sorry for her losing her Grandpaw, and gives her money for sweets, and is shocked when she talks to Maw as they get off the bus, since Maw says she's glad Grandpaw's out from under her feet. Then they go to the cemetery, where Grandpaw tells them that he'll play with the Bairn as soon as he's finished weeding the plots.

Criminal Minds: Preemptively in one episode. A man has become a serial killer while trying to "screen candidates" for a new wife to be a caretaker to his daughter since he can't manage her alone after his wife's death and is about to lose custody. He explains the process to his daughter using terms like "The king is looking for a new queen, but this one didn't work out and went away," leaving her ignorant of his crimes. When it becomes clear to him the FBI is closing in and he's running out of time, he tells her that if he can't find a queen soon, he'll have to "go to a better place." During the final confrontation, she innocently asks if he's going to that better place now, cluing the BAU team that he plans to commit suicide.

Ruby Gloom: "Gloomer Rumor" uses this, where Iris, Misery and Skull Boy are convinced Ruby is going to move, but due to the former two announcing that she "won't be with us anymore", Frank and Len assume that means she’s dying. Throughout the episode, Frank and Len are still convinced of this, believing her to be going through the Five Stages of Grief, mistaking Ruby's "upcoming event" (a surprise party) as her death and subsequent funeral, and when Ruby shows up at the end, they believe she's a ghost.

One episode of As Time Goes By has Aunt Penny convinced she's going to die during a minor operation and half-convincing (or really convincing her poor husband Stephen) everyone else of that too. So when they find her bed empty and the senile patient in the next bed says "She's gone—they took her away!" Stephen faints. (They wheel Penny in a few minutes later; the staff had moved her to a different room because the other patient was making a racket all night and she couldn't get any sleep.)

Played with in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Trelawney, the Divination teacher, makes several dire predictions during the first lesson, including that, "Around Easter, one of our number will leave us forever." At right about that time of year, Hermione gets fed up with Divination and storms out of the class saying she's done with it. Several of Trelawney's more attentive students come to believe that the prediction actually referred to Hermione quitting Divination and that their interpretation of a more dire meaning was an error on their part.

After the name is removed from Wartz's office and parking space (he moved to a bigger office on the other side of the school), and a crying relative informs Sid that Wartz is "under the big tree in the backyard" (Wartz was gardening and the relative was chopping onions), Arnold and Sid finally run into the principal.

In I Used to Believe, one person's submission was about how his Dog Got Sent to a Farm, meaning the family's uncle's farm due to them moving to an apartment. They didn't realize why everyone looked so sad when informed of this.

Eight years after the aforementioned Housepets! example, the story arc "Temple Crashers 2" involves various characters getting Spirit Advisors. One of them is Rufus, who explains that he kicked the bucket, passed away and is D-E-A-D. Grape, given her last conversation with him, assumes that he actually kicked a bucket, traveled away from the farm in passing, and can't spell "deed". The title of the strip is "Actually Pushing Up Daisies", in reference to the page image strip being "Pushing Up Daisies".

In Who's the Boss?, Tony's father-in-law is telling Tony that he (the father-in-law) is going to prison. But he can't bring himself to say the word "prison" and leaves off with, "I'm going to..." So Tony assumes that "die" was the unspeakable word that he was having trouble with. Hilarity Ensues as the father-in-law spends the whole episode enjoying the sympathy that is accorded to a terminally ill person.

Essentially the whole of the last episode of Frasier: Dr Crane's accepted a new job in San Francisco, but all the other characters think he's dying (he's just back from the doctors and is constantly weeping due to a bad botox injection he got there, he's giving away possessions he 'won't need anymore' etc). He thinks they already know and so launches into a long speech about moving on to better places, how they shouldn't be sad, how when he passes through that Golden Gate he'll be smiling...
A very similar example happened on an earlier episode with Martin and Daphne.

Zig-zagged in Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers. Shortly after he and Zipper meet Chip and Dale, Monty tries to take the two chipmunks to meet his old friend, Geegaw Hackwrench, hoping Geegaw will be able to help them in their mission to retrieve the Clutchcoin Ruby. Instead, they encounter Geegaw's daughter, Gadget, who says her father is "not here." When Dale, taking this at face value, asks when Geegaw is coming back, Gadget replies that he isn't because she "lost him over a year ago." She doesn't actually say that Geegaw is dead, but because she talks about him in the past tense, and her eyes fill with tears while she is looking at a photograph of him, it is implied that she at least believes this to be the case.

Pepper Ann: A flash forward episode has someone noting that the former school secretary was no longer with us. Her pension finally payed out (while complaining about which has been a Running Gag) and she moved to Florida.
