She did die, then her heart was restarted by Eleven. She was dead for one minute (if you consider the heart to judge death, most consider the brain instead).

If u don't get it, whenever you say "Max died" to a stranger things fan they go crazy and say "ShEs In A cOmA" or "ShE dIeD fOr OnE mInUtE"

I get it, it's just that it isn't a technicality which the meme implies, her resurrection was on screen and had more attention given to it than her death.

Oh

IM DYING THIS IS TOO FUNNY-
