If the news says someone is dead, that doesn't mean they actually are. Even if they show "pictures" of the dead body or a funeral.
'It was Asclepiades, the son of Hipparchus, who first brought the news of Alexander's death to Athens.
When it was made public, Demades urged the people not to believe it: If Alexander were really dead, he declared, the stench of the corpse would have filled the whole world.'
-Plutarch, "History of Macedonia"
