* ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica'': In the "Injustice League" arc of Creator/GeoffJohns' run on ''ComicBook/{{Justice League|2011}}'', Lex Luthor reveals to Niles Caulder that the ComicBook/DoomPatrol members Arani Desai/Celsius and Joshua Clay/Tempest, initially believed killed with the rest of the original Doom Patrol in the New 52 continuity by the Crime Syndicate in the ''ComicBook/{{Forever Evil|2013}}'' event, actually faked their deaths to get away from Caulder. When ''Comicbook/DCRebirth'' restored the DCU to how it was prior to the New 52, Arani faking her death was one of the few elements of the New 52 canon that was retained, as ''ComicBook/DoomsdayClock'' shows her leading a new superhero team in India known as The Doomed. Joshua Clay's feigned demise, however, did not stick in the post-Rebirth canon, as ''DC's Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun'' confirms he's still dead by showing him among the ghosts of deceased Doom Patrol members haunting Robotman.

* Many kinds of animals fake their own death as a last resort to protect themselves from predators. For some reason, many hunters won't eat what is already dead.
** If you find something dead, it may well have started rotting already. If it's suddenly dead but with no traces of injury, it can be assumed that it died from poison or some form of sickness that makes it undesirable to eat. While a human might stop to check the prey more thoroughly, many animal predators don't and leave it alone due to instinct. Dead, but not eaten, and I didn't kill it? There must be something wrong with it.
