Yes... Put on a Bus and Chuck Cunningham Syndrome are not the same thing as Character Death.

You could maybe add a note about it being Inferred Survival or Uncertain Doom if there's ambiguity - say, we see them evade the event that killed them in the original work and there's no indication that they died later on.

Is it still Spared by the Adaptation if the character who dies in the original work simply disappears from the narrative and is never mentioned again?
