Pretending to be dead? Not possible.

I was born and spent the first nine and a half years of my life in a funeral home. I've seen my share of dead people. That's why I get frustrated when I see actors portraying dead people on screen. Only once have a seen a "dead" person on screen that looked believable and that was on an episode of the Jamie Kennedy Experience, where the actor/comedian/prankster portrayed a grieving widower who snatches his wife's body out of her casket and runs off with her on his handicapped motor cart. Why did I find it believable? Because her body was not portrayed by an actress, but a wax figure. Wax figures don't be breath and can be made to look like an actual cadaver, with loose skin and rigor mortis, et cetera.

They should spend more time in the gym to play dead! Way back in my weightlifting days I had a very slow resting pulse and hefty neck muscles. On a first aid course we were learning to find the carotid pulse. I was pronounced dead by two fellow students and the examiner said he couldn't be certain.
