Do tokens go to the graveyard when they die?

Several community members give the same answer in the forum threads; no official ruling.

A token briefly goes to the graveyard (or other zone) and then ceases to exist, so it cannot be returned or targeted there. Cards that watch for creatures dying still see it die. Any copy of a permanent is a token.
