Do I personally believe Bin Laden is dead? I'm not sure. I' I'm more inclined to believe that the reports of his death are fraudulent and only an attempt by the United States and its allies to mask the fact that Bin Laden will never be caught. If he's dead, then the manhunt is over and the invasion of Afghanistan was a success (Though, in recent months, it seems as if everyone has forgotten about Bin Laden all together).

I can't see this as why make people think he is dead when a new video makes you look like an idiot. Based on how he would have to live and his medical conditions he may well be dead, or it may be a ploy to hope to convince the west he is dead to ease on pressure to find him, or it just might be the usual anonymous source talking out his ass.
Edit: The other possibility is to draw him out. Say he is dead so he feels the need to make another video with the hope being something with the video is a clue to his location.
