Hmmm. I translate "not alive" as forgotten. Shakespear is dead, and his works survive, and he is alive in his works.... i think...

You know by that peticualar way he writes. And other stuff.
So i picked other.

Depends. In video games, it's dead. In real life, a person died, but I don't refer to them being dead. If I wanna joke around either in a video game or about something or someone the people I am talking to and myself didn't know on a personal level, I will say in a somewhat funny tone "They are with Jesus now."

Depends on who it was, and how important they were to me. I tend to be more respectful towards those that I held dear, but for most I would just say "dead"

To date I've only ever used dead as passed away seems more to refer to passing into another life , though I suppose I might use passed away if the situation was very emotional.

Dead. Died. Death is part of life and shouldn't be feared, we raise our children and coddle them with the idea of heaven and people "going away" "just sleeping" etc... life is a cycle and they need to accept that from birth.
