“No, he’s definitely alive”. “He can’t still be alive – he must be at least 100 years old by now”. “I can’t believe he is dead. I only saw him on telly last month”.
“Dead or Alive?” used to be a fun segment filler on many radio stations in the past. Radio presenters would throw out a quick question to listeners to get them to phone in with their responses as to whether well-known celebrities are still with us or whether they are pushing up the daisies.
It used to spark interesting arguments amongst friends. But that was in the good old days before the internet.
