The only time I've ever been surprised by "This character is dead LOL JK they're alive" was in Bleach. You wanna know why that actually worked and surprised the audience? Because it was not "This guy I used to know died." We saw that character walking around and interacting with other characters, and then suddenly, one episode, they found him dead. We were shown his dead body and all the blood. And then he came back, and we were like "Is that-- Wait, what? BUT YOU WERE DEAD!" Turns out, he faked his death.

And yeah, it's quite likely that Summer's body was at least partially eaten. In which case, if there was anything left of her other than bloody clothes, Taiyang wouldn't have let the kids see her, and it would've been a closed casket funeral.
