He says the opposite: See 64c where Socrates expects and gets an affirmative answer to the question he puts to Simmias: "Do we believe that death is this, namely, that the body comes to be separated by itself apart from the soul, and the soul comes to be separated by itself apart from the body? Is death anything else than that?"
