{{quote|''"In other news, Lando Griffin, a popular student at a local high school was killed last night when his motorcycle careened off dead man's curve. Police were baffled when no body was found at the scene, but decided it was best not to ask questions and just let everyone get on with their lives."''
|'''Tom Tucker'''|''[[Family Guy]]''}}
A character is [[Killed Off for Real]] and assumed by all other characters to be dead, but the death occurs in such a way that no body is recovered. No matter how all laws of physics and biology indicate [[No One Could Survive That]], this old rule trumps all: "[[Not Quite Dead|Never count someone dead unless you have the body in front of you]]." (And in some cases, [[Back from the Dead|not even then]].)
Line 18 ⟶ 20:
If the mortal remains are eventually found, it's [[Finally Found the Body]].
