Line 11:
== [[Anime]] & [[Manga]] ==
* Madara Uchiha/Tobi, in ''[[Naruto]]'', since everyone in the story thought that he died a long time ago. Some fans theorize that he actually IS dead; the story proper hasn't yet revealed exactly what's going on with him.
** {{spoiler|Turns out to be [[Averted Trope]] in the Chapter 559-560 now that the real Madara has been brought [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]. Tobi's identity thus goes back to unknown.}}
 
== [[Film]] ==
Line 53:
* In the ''[[M*A*S*H (television)|Mash]]'' episode "The Late Captain Pierce", the U.S. Army mistakenly declares Hawkeye dead.
* In ''[[Coronation Street]]'' Jerry's father put his own obituary in the newspaper.
* The eventually-[[Back Fromfrom the Dead|oft-killed]] Daniel Jackson had this happen to him in an early episode of [[Stargate SG-1]]- they hold a eulogy for him and start going through his stuff before they realize they've just been tricked into ''thinking'' he's dead. And at the beginning of season 7, he reclaims a good many items which Jonas Quinn was using... ''You weren't using them'' was Jonas' ([[Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence|understandable]]) explanation.
** Of course, he differs from most of these examples in that most of the time he ''actually was'' dead. Later on, though, his teammates get [[Genre Savvy]] about it, and O'Neill outright ''refuses'' to hold a memorial service one of the latter times he gets killed, noting that he'll probably be back any time now.
* Archie Bunker was misreported as dead by the Veterans Administration for one episode of ''[[All in The Family]].''
Line 75:
* Doctor Halsey quotes this trope in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. The casualty reports had listed her as K.I.A., or so Noble Team thought.
** Near the beginning of the level "Uprising" in ''[[Halo 2]]'', the Arbiter runs into some friendly forces. He's greeted with "The Arbiter! I thought he was dead!"
* In [[Spyro: Year of the Dragon]], Spyro goes through a portal and ends up in a faraway land where dragons were thought to be extinct. He replies with "Rumors of our extinction were greatly exaggerated."
* The ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'' add-on, ''Lonesome Road'' adds a perk, "Thought You Died", which is basically this.
* [[Resident Evil|Albert Wesker and later, Jill Valentine]] both fall under this trope; Wesker in Code: Veronica and Jill in Resident Evil 5.
