Why did Abu Bakr emphasize that Muhammad was dead?

The Muslims never thought that the Prophet (SAW) would die. They were extremely grieved at his death. Hazrat Abu Bakr, the closest friend and father in law of the Prophet (SAW) kept his wits and recited to the people the verse from the holy Qur'an that meant that all the Prophets were bound to die, and if Muhammad (SAW) died, would you turn about on your heels? In this way he tried to advise the Companions (RAU) to control their emotions and remain firm in their faith of Islam even after the death of the beloved holy Prophet (SAW).
