Argumentum ad absurdum. You did report the Doctor's death as his death until it was clear it was an apparent death, right?
We've got narrative evidence for both sides. Even the Doctor says that it's impossible for her to be the same woman - in fact, that's the whole point for him. She has three different names, she doesn't carry memories over (only personality traits), and she dies. Like, confirmed dies, with cemetery plots with headstones and incinerated after being turned into a Dalek dead. Clearly they were not the same body.
Every once in a while, other narrative evidence should be able to be stronger than the word of the Doctor. Otherwise, he's infallible and the stories aren't really interesting that way.
