There is no factual answer as to why Marc Antony received a report that Cleopatra was dead. However there is plenty of speculation. One theory is that in the confusion during that last day, Cleopatra may not have had time to write and simply told a slave to tell Antony that she was in her tomb. When Antony heard this, he assumed that she was dead. Another theory is that Cleopatra deliberately lied to him, in an effort to get him to either kill himself or to flee Alexandria, thereby leaving her to negotiate with Octavian on her own, which is something she wanted.
