No one has offered a defense, so I am deleting all of those examples.

All true, and very interesting. But Operation Mincemeat did not involve any attempt to pretend that the dead man was still alive. So it's not really an example of this trope, is it?
The same goes for these items:
Unless we're redefining the trope to mean "any kind of shenanigans involving a dead person", these are NOT valid examples.
