When the word "dead" or "died" is used in this instance, it isn't in the literal sense. When you suffer a permanent concussion and lose all memory permanently, it is obviously agreed that you are still very much alive. However, the "original" you has "died" in the mental sense, not being the same anymore.

I agree, though, that "dead" perhaps isn't the best word to use lol
