Mark Twain writing to someone who had head that the writer was dead declared, "Reports of my death has been greatly exaggerated." And at the last newspaper I worked at (and I use the term 'newspaper' advisedly since their goal is to see how much news they can keep out of the paper), a writer not thinking made a reference to that town's native son Clement Haynesworth and called him the late Clement Haynesworth.
As you will recall, Haynesworth was a South Carolina judge nominated and rejected for the U.S. Supreme Court and he wrote the paper that normally he celebrated the fact that newspapers are correct, but in this one instance he was happy they were wrong.
