Talk:Faked death

Andy Kaufman for speculations? edit

Andy Kaufman is another good example of speculated pseudocide. He was a famous liar and his career was full of elaborate rouses, when he died people thought he faked it. Bob Zmuda, a very close associate, even wrote about the theories validity. 2604:3D08:3380:EE00:18EF:B450:552D:907B (talk) 13:51, 2 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Sounds strange edit

"uncovered after she claimed to have died during the COVID-19 pandemic."

I know what this phrase is trying to say but it reads oddly. Someone else could have claimed that she died, or she could have faked her own death but suggesting she, herself, claimed to have died just sounds wrong somehow.

Anyone have a problem if I change it to "faked her own death"?

Go for it! Making things clearer and not worse is always a good idea. DMacks (talk) 14:15, 4 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Query edit

Hello, I was just wondering if the list this article contains is only for individuals found to have faked their own death. I just came across two articles about ex-CIA operatives who went "rogue" who are accused of faking their own death so I came to this article but I'm guessing that it is not for cases where it is just suspected that someone faked their death. Does that sound accurate? I don't see any hidden notes that provide a guideline for whom to include. Thanks for any clarity you can provide. Liz Read! Talk! 19:08, 21 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
