Fully died? I don't think there is a such thing as "halfway dead" either there is life or there isn't.

In the case of the human body, one can speak of individual cells being dead or alive, and one can also speak of the person as a whole as being dead or alive.  While the person is alive, many cells die and one is always carrying around some dead cells.  When the person as a whole is first dead, typically, many of the individual cells are still alive.  If all of the individual cells are dead, the person is well and truly dead completely.  But one can speak of parts still being alive while the person is dead.  It is in the intermediate stages where things get a bit murky.  This is why there are discussions about keeping bodies alive in hospitals, and there can be some dispute over whether the person is dead or not.

(The first part was dealt with by  I_am_not_mafia, so I am simply omitting it in my reply.)
