I'm bumping once more, sorry. I'll also try to summarize the title issue here. Feel free to suggest more, or give some input about the names listed so far. So:

Current title: DidNotDieInACarCrash
* pro: covers both varieties of the trope
* pro: doesn't have a specific namer, isn't a snowclone or meme etc.
* pro: has had moderate support, BUT
* con: might get cutlisted, as FE suggested that it is too specific and will attract non-examples (see my argument for why I don't agree with this in ^^^^^^, though ultimately whether I'm right or not doesn't matter. Still a con.)

Suggestion: FalseCauseOfDeath
* pro: doesn't have a specific namer, isn't a snowclone or meme etc.
* pro: more widely encompassing than current
* pro: has had the most support of the suggestions, including FE's
* con: only covers half the trope (the bigger half, admittedly)

Suggestion: TheDeathWasALie
* pro: covers both types of the trope
* pro: more widely encompassing than current
* con: seems snowcloney/memetic, see TheCakeIsALie - if someone can argue that it ''wouldn't'' be snowcloney and it gets more support, I'll go with this one.
