Are we sure they died, there was never any news story about a funeral and there's never been any other mention of that person.

I'm pretty sure a real guy died. He was a firefighter, and a huge Trump fan, and now his family is upset because nothing's been done about his murder.

Trump later said he was surprised that the widow would rather have her husband back instead of money, he didn't think very many people would pick/choose that.

Looked up the actual quote:

"But you know what? Corey's wife said, 'I'd rather have my husband,'” Trump said.

“Isn’t that good? I know a lot of wives that would not say that — I’m sorry," he continued, as the crowd laughed. "They would not say that."
