Could you kindly tell me the correct question tag for the following sentence.

People say he is dead.

Thanks

Granting that the tag depends on the "stress meant" by the speaker in the sentence, which wud be the more appropriate question tag here?

People say he is a liar, isn't he?
or
people say he is a liar , is he?
------------------------------------

People say he is dead, isn't he?
or
People say he is dead, is he?

Thanks

people say he is a liar , ' don't they? ' is the right option. because as you know people word refers to 'they' (plural), you cannot say is he? or does he?
