Never Found the Body. Sometimes characters acknowledge In-Universe that the lack of a body means that the supposedly dead guy is still alive.
This is a trope that I almost always see play out. Whenever a character is thought to be dead, there being no corpse found (or so the show would have the audience believe), means that the character is still alive and out there.
