Black bears are scavenger more so than predators. If they came across someone who they perceived to be dead they'd likely take at least a probative bite.
I'd imagine who ever had been faking being dead who react in a way that would startle the bear off.
And direct confrontation by appearing to be a threat is a good tactic for black bears, unless it is a sow with her cubs.
