I think it's the American way to capitalize on a celebrity's death. Geffen Records, for years tried to milk the Kurt Cobain death with releases of "lost" tracks.

I don't mean to hi-jack this thread, but I have a question about celebrity deaths. For example, people still believe that Elvis is alive and i'm sure there are many other conspiracy theories regarding many other celebrities who are dead, but are rumored to be alive. My question is this, is there a precedent where a celebrity was announced to be dead, but some time later turned up alive?

My theory is that there must be the one case in history that for some reason started the phenomenon about celebrities faking their deaths, which then this one story contributes to the nonsense of the Elvis urban legend.
