Ways of saying things

Okay, so this is only remotely related...

Last night on the news, they were covering a story about a shooting in a mall. One person was killed, 2 more injured, 2 taken into custody, blah, blah, blah. The reporter actually said "One woman has been deceased." Ummm...Isn't she deceased anymore? "Has been" reflects a past tense that no longer applies: Ie, It has been raining, but it's not now.

And, now, back to the topic:

Permanently reclined

Returned to the earth

Corpsified

Wearing the faded rose of days gone by.
 
My fav:
"Killed dead."

Well, no s**t, really? I'd like to see someone killed "alive." :laugh:
 
This is an ex-parrot?
