when i was little i was convinced i had an explanation to why nobody was ever actually dead and that no one died! i think it had to do with the fact the body was still there and didnt just disappear therefore they were still alive. if only i could remember my theory who knows i may have held the mystery of death and the afterlife in my hands and just thrown it away! (there again it could also have been the fact i was about 5 and my nan had died 2 years before and i was still trying to cope with that!!)
