When a character who is alive is mistakenly believed to be dead. Quite often includes the character being shown his own death certificate. Often includes being declared Legally Dead, but isn't necessarily restricted to that. May result in a case of Attending Your Own Funeral and hearing a Premature Eulogy. Compare Faking the Dead, where the character deliberately misleads people into believing that he's dead, and No One Could Survive That!, where the character incidentally creates this impression by surviving something that by all rights should have killed him. Named after a statement that Mark Twain didn't actually say, kind of. The actual quote was from a letter he wrote to the New York Journal: Subtropes Disney Death: The audience witnesses an apparent death, but the character is still alive. Often overlaps with... No One Could Survive That!: Other characters in-universe witness an apparent death, but the character is still alive. Faking the Dead: The character faked their death and has now come back just when they were "confirmed" to be dead. Mistaken Death Confirmation: The character's death is confirmed by another character via lack of life signs or an obviously lethal injury. Mistaken for Dying: The character is believed to be dying, but they only have a minor illness — if they're sick at all. No Longer with Us: The character merely went somewhere else, but this was misunderstood as an apparent euphemism for death. Not Quite Dead: The seemingly dead antagonist is revealed to have survived. Not Now, We're Too Busy Crying Over You: The character announces their own survival, but gets a Not Now, Kiddo response from the mourners. Not Too Dead to Save the Day: The survival allows the character to make a Deus ex Machina (though this one has a variant where the character stays dead). A favorite tactic of supernatural killers, who return in the sequels after being thought to be destroyed in the previous film. See also First Law of Resurrection, where the character was meant to be Killed Off for Real, but was brought back from the dead in sequels. A form of Dramatic Irony if the audience is aware he's alive while the characters aren't. Often goes hand in hand with Our Hero Is Dead. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

In Finding Nemo, Marlin spots Nemo seemingly lying unconscious and belly-up in the dentist's chair, thinking he died and will never see him again. Unknown to him though, Nemo was only ''pretending'' to be dead so the dentist won't give him to Darla. | |

During the mid-1970s, a rumor floated around that TV series Soul Train's host Don Cornelius had died of a drug overdose, prompting him to make an announcement at the beginning of a subsequent episode that he had not died of a drug overdose and his attorneys were trying to find whoever had spread that slander. This also counts as a Suspiciously Specific Denial because while Cornelius had carefully stated he did not die of a drug overdose, he never stated that he hadn't used drugs. Of course, this became Harsher in Hindsight after Cornelius died for real in 2012. | |

Hercules: For the first half of the movie, Hades believes that Herc had been killed as a baby, due to Pain and Panic lying about it, leaving him to believe that nothing could stand in the way of his plan to take over Mt. Olympus. It's at about the halfway point that Hades learns from Meg's information that Hercules is in fact still alive. Needless to say, he is more than a little upset with Pain and Panic. | |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: Emil and Lalli try to escape a giant via a frozen body of water, but the fact that it can't hold Emil results in Lalli killing the giant via a burst of magic that shatters both the giant and the ice. They manage to escape on an ice floe and get ashore somewhere far away from the rest of the crew. When Sigrun backtracks the next morning looking for them, all she finds is the giant's exploded corpse right next to the part of the body of water that got its ice blown to bits by the magic burst. She comes to the conclusion anyone would be killed by that and tells the rest of the crew upon returning. | |

It had been said that the Beatles' manager Brian Epstein cooked up the "Paul is dead" conspiracy. Epstein had doubts about "Paperback Writer" selling as it wasn't a typical Beatles love song, so he hatched the idea for one of them to "die" to drum up publicity for the single. Ringo and George passed on the idea; John offered to be the guy but that was nixed as everyone knew he was a joker anyway. So Paul, by virtue of elimination, was elected to be the "dead man." One of the clues to Paul's supposed demise was the license plate on a car on the Abbey Road cover, which read "28 IF", meant to stand for Paul would have been 28 the following June. Flash forward to 1993 when Paul released his Paul Is Live album which featured him on the famous Abbey Road zebra crossing and a similar license plate: "IS 51." | |

On the Dream SMP, Tommy ends up on the receiving end of this twice. The first time this happened was at the end of at the end of the Exile arc in Season 2. When Tubbo came to Logstedshire to visit him, he spotted the pillar Tommy made to jump to his death from, not knowing that Tommy didn't go through with his suicide attempt, and immediately assumed the worst with the result being everyone except Dream believes Tommy to be dead. It happened again in a much more twisted way in Season 3. After being trapped in Pandora's Vault with Dream, the word was spread that he was dead, only for him to return to the SMP proper a week after his death was announced. The twist is that Tommy was killed by Dream but got resurrected, and no one knew that he came Back from the Dead until he returned from the prison. |

Pirates SMP: After Acho became The Runaway for over a year before the start of the SMP, leaving the house without a note, stars older brother, Scott assumed star dead until seeing star again on Day 1. Tragically, this is subverted in the finale; Graecie and Apo's initial reaction to Scott breaking the news as the only witness to Acho pulling a More Hero than Thou for him is to assume Scott is joking and say it's not funny, to which Scott, wracked with Survivor Guilt by this point, can only respond he wishes he were joking. | |

Robin (1993): When Tim Drake detached his cape fleeing from a mass of Arkham escapees it was found wrapped around skeletal remains and he was presumed dead. His death was reported to all the Bats, only for Tim to almost instantaneously arrive at Barbara Gordon's tower and let her and Blue Beetle know he'd survived. Unfortunately they were unable to tell Nightwing until after The Joker had gloated about killing two of his little brothers and Dick had beaten him to death for it. | |

On July 26, 2022, a post from the wife of Leave It to Beaver star Tony Dow (who played Wally Cleaver) to social media reported that Dow had passed away from complications of liver cancer (which had been announced two months earlier); with the post being shared by others he knew, including co-star Jerry Mathers (who played the title character) and eventually being picked up by the media. Later that afternoon, Dow's son posted a follow-up message that Dow was still alive but receiving hospice care. Tony Dow really did pass away the next day. | |

Abe Vigoda, known for his acting roles in The Godfather and Barney Miller, was wrongly reported as dead in 1982 by People magazine. Vigoda found this amusing, and had a photo published in Variety of himself sitting up in a coffin reading the mistaken issue of People. In 1987, it happened again after a reporter from Secaucus, New Jersey mistakenly called him "the late Abe Vigoda", which once again prompted much amusement and what spawned the Running Gag about Vigoda's "dead or alive" status. It got to the point where a website was made (abevigoda.com) to provide real-time updates on the status of Abe Vigoda (current status: Abe Vigoda is dead). When he actually died in 2016, many reports had to state that this wasn't a hoax or misstatement. | |

Steve Burns from Blue's Clues was surprised to hear he had died and been replaced with a lookalike (his character actually left the show to go to college and his brother Joe took over; the show even did a transition episode to explain the in-universe story to viewersnote in real life, Burns said he left the show because he felt he was visibly aging out of his role as an "older brother"-type character). No matter how many times he said he was still alive, some people still believed he was dead. | |

Country music pioneer Ray Price was also a victim of the premature obituary, as many national news outlets (from Rolling Stone to USA Today) had reported the singer's purported passing on Sunday, Dec. 15, 2013, from cancer — only for Price's wife, Janie, to reveal that although he was near death, he was still alive. See this link for more details. Incidentally, Price did die -- approximately a day after the premature obituaries were announced online, leaving behind one of the greatest legacies ever in country music. | |

Girl Genius: Madam Oglavia Spudna has this response to a horrified captured librarian who has just realized who the well-known Torture Technician is as she was thought to be dead. When Maxim challenges Old Man Death to a fight for his hat the old man mentions that some of the cavalry that they once rode with was through a few years ago and had said Maxim was dead. Maxim was reported dead since he was "detached" and didn't align himself with Wulfenbach like the rest of the Jägers. |

At the beginning of The Land Before Time, Sharptooth fell down into a ravine during the earthquake that split the land, leading Littlefoot to believe he was dead. When Cera rejoins him and the others to mention she encountered Sharptooth and learned he was alive, Littlefoot believed she was lying, constantly telling the others that there wasn't any Sharptooth. It's not until later on that he finds out that Cera was telling the truth... when Sharptooth attacks them and they are forced to run for their lives. | |

Superman: The Living Legends of Superman: Doble subversion. Superman abruptly stops appearing in the early 21st centuy. An old man called Homer claims he met Superman around the year 2,068, and upon stammering that Superman was presumed dead, the Man of Steel jokes he got better. However, it is soon revealed that Homer made up that story altogether. However, it is later revealed that Superman disappeared because he got entrapped by a cosmic anomaly and flung into the distant future. In Red Daughter of Krypton, the Red Lanterns believe Supergirl has been killed when her Ring goes offline (a sure sign that a Red Ring-bearer is dead). They spend several issues believing Kara is dead until Guy Garner bumps into her during the "Atrocities" arc, whereupon he gives her a hug and asks how she survived. Kara proceeds to explain her heart was restarted with a literal sunbath when her Ring was removed. Brainiac's Blitz: Brainiac traps Supergirl in a Kryptonite cage which he proceeds to blast into oblivion. Believing her dead, Brainiac prepares to retreat back to his asteroid base when Supergirl bursts through his ship's hull, telling him to not write her obituary yet. She was able to slip out of the cage just in time. "Supergirl's Big Brother": Subverted. When a man shows up on the Danvers' doorstep, claiming to be their son Jan, Fred and Edna state that Jan was reported killed in combat several years ago. The man claims the reports of his death were a mistake caused by a mix-up in the records, but later it is revealed that he is a fraud impersonating the real Jan Danvers, who is indeed dead and buried. In Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes #197, Timber Wolf, who had apparenly caught in the radius of a planetoid's explosion and reported as killed in action, reappears six months later after his "death", as no memory of the last six months (later it was revealed that he was abducted and brain-washed by a villain called Tyr). In Superman: The Doomsday Wars, a suddenly speaking Doomsday gloats that "The rumors of my stupidity were greatly exaggerated". Both Doomsday and the person actually riding him, Brainiac, were thought dead by this point (Doomsday was presumed dead at the end of Superman/Doomsday: Hunter/Prey and Brainiac was seemingly killed at the start of Doomsday Wars.) |

In The Lion King (1994), after going into Self-Imposed Exile over thinking he was responsible for Mufasa's death (he thought his roaring frightened a herd of wildebeests into the gorge when really, the hyenas chased them there and Scar killed Mufasa himself), everyone in the Pride Lands believes that Simba is dead. Even Scar assumes this, as the hyenas didn't tell him he got away from them. When he returns to take back the Pride Lands, everyone (barring Nala, who had already found out he was alive) at first thinks he is Mufasa's ghost. | |

Bizarrely inverted in 2015 by the British children's TV art presenter Tony Hart (roughly the British equivalent of Bob Ross, for American readers), who was mourned as newly dead on social media after a single Tweet blew up and got him trending. In fact, he had died five years earlier and people had either forgotten he was dead or not seen the news at the time. His daughter subsequently commented that at least the mix-up had shown her that people still cared about him. | |

Similarly, Simon Lane was a victim of this himself, after some people tried to pretend he had died in order to scam money, under pretences that it would go towards a revival of Shadow of Israphel. Subsequently, his and Lewis Brindley's joint channel turned off comments for around two months, since this was the last straw (other comments had been self-promotion of small channels, spamming for reports of SOI, Moral Guardians complaining unnecessarily, and so on). | |

Susan Olsen, who played Cindy on The Brady Bunch, has revealed that fans are often surprised to learn that she's still alive, thinking she died of a drug overdose at age 18. Those people, of course, have her confused with the tragic Anissa Jones, who played Buffy on Family Affair, because both girls sported blonde sausage curl pigtails (Cindy's hairstyle was inspired by Buffy's, at 7-year-old Olsen's own request). | |

Donald O'Brien, an actor who starred in many Spaghetti Westerns and Italian horror films in the 1960s and 1970s, was falsely reported to have died on November 29, 2003; a misconception that's still reflected in many online sources. It didn't help that he'd had health problems since the 80s and gone into retirement in the 90s. As of 2016 he was still very much alive and living in Paris, and apparently finds the entire situation very amusing. | |

Occurs a couple of times in We Are All Pokémon Trainers: In the alternate timeline, a flashback implies Cyrus had the mind-controlled Dialga kill DS, and she is reported dead to the other Trainers. Only when she arrives for the finale is revealed that Dialga resisted Cyrus's command long enough to imprison DS along with the other Legendaries instead. Later, when DS and the Lake Trio finally find Palkia, who is the only one who can help them escape from the other dimension, they discover that Palkia has been petrified, presumably having been that way since the arc began. |

In the Christmas charity livestreams for the Yogscast in 2013, Simon Lane put a photo of fellow member Alex "Parv" Parvis (also the guitarist for the band Area 11) onscreen, claimed he'd died and said that the photo was a mini-memorial. It very promptly became a meme in the form of "RIP PARV", in no small part thanks to people who believed it was true, and he came back from a gig with the band that very evening to find out he was "dead". Even after he cleared the situation up, there were people who still didn't believe he was still alive nearly seven months later. | |
