In _Attack on Titan_ season 3 part 2, Erwin asks Levi if he can see them. He
is referring to the people who died, and Mike was in that picture.

However, when he died, he was surrounded by at least 3 or 4 titans. And since
this was the Beast Titan's doing, he probably told them to eat all of him as
to leave no evidence.

I don't think people went to look for him.

How did the Scouts know that he died?

How did the Scouts know that Mike Zacharias died?


Because Mike Zacharias sent Thomas to Erwin when he sensed the Titans
approaching. To

After Erwin was informed and the fact that Mike Zacharias never made it back,
_I think it is safe to assume that he was presumed dead by his comrades, even
if they weren't able to witness him being eaten_. I say this because he was
supposed to regroup with the ones who escaped but seeing as he never made it
back, it would be natural to assume that he's dead.

Real world military has something called [PKIA or Presumed Killed in
Action](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killed_in_action).
