Well, here in Uzbekistan there is a test book with which students prepare for higher education.These tests I took from it. Sometimes there could be misprints. You are right it shoul be deceased, not decreased . So
1) went to see- came in
2) a dark cloud- white cloud
3) deceased man-new born

Am I right?
