No, that's not it. "Peter Falk dies at 83" announces his death without euphemisms.

"Peter Falk is dead" is the take of a mental midget poking his corpse with a stick.

So is "Peter Falk dead at 83" equally as offensive?

I don't see how changing the tense and adding his age somehow make it less offensive.

It isn't sugar coated but I don't know why it needs to be. Facts are facts.
