>We saw her die Just like Conklin saw Taiana die.

>we saw her in the morgue Suspiciously left alone with Oliver after the doctor walks away, while Ollie turns around hearing her voice.

>we saw her buried We saw a closed coffin buried, with no body being shown.

>Rip Hunter has confirmed 150 years He had to stop Sara without telling her because Timeforce I Ain't Gotta Explain Shit.

All of these points are incredibly easy to come up with an excuse, because the death sequence of Laurel was filmed in a way that you could handwave bringing her back in case the execs consider it the only way to bring back the pissed off audience. Think of Laurel as a Schrödinger's Cat: she's both dead and alive, at least until the writers decide how to approach the situation and what to do with the "Promise me, Oliver!" scene.

Honestly, after seeing the tearful burials and fruitless searches for Sara, all for her to come back, after being told that "Oliver was truly killed by Ra's al Ghul", all for him to be just fine, I don't have trust in official statements (since it's painfully easy to just say something like "Laurel Lance had to die for the Canary to be reborn!"). If they stick with their guns, graz. But, so far I'm not convinced.
