The Humakti may consider themselves to be dead but most other people do not. The source is the Fortunate Succession p52 describing Castle Blue
[The Veth Ethdisi] were equally comfortable
in interacting with both the living people on
the shores of the Oronin when they were there,

Giving the context of the battle, I think it more appropriate that the dead people in the battle for Castle Blue were actually dead people and not Humakti.
