You ain't dead until your brain is. Which Jim uses in a microfiction he has the Archive to tell Kincaid not to take the head shot. Corpsetaker was never alive in the true sense, but she is in hell, so what the hell, I forgive her.
If I'm gonna be wrong about something I aver, I do it right. Ten people are raised from the dead in the Bible. Oh well.

Yup, the Archive knew what she was asking/demanding of Kincaid. And actually when you think about it, Kincaid knew as well, so he took Harry's money, but didn't kill him because the heart shot gave Harry a slim chance at life.

That was just convenient. Someone else’s body would have worked just as well as corpstaker tried to prove and Kemmler did. There is something significant with the threshold between life and dead.
But it is border territory here so maybe there is no true right or wrong but I think a definition like you came back so you were never dead robs the Dresden verse of its supernatural elements, proves lash and so many others who know better wrong and ignores the difference between dead and gone Bob introduced and Mab’s grey word.
Harry was dead but not yet gone
And yes resurrection was rather common in those days :-) And that were only those mentioned in the New Testament. They probably forgot to mention a few.
And Jim told us several times that Harry was dead and never denied it.

You haven't heard an a definition of death sourced from me yet. These are all Jim's ideas. Death in the Dverse means absolutely nothing. It's the most aggravating thing in the books.

For the Corpsetaker perhaps, but the previous owner of the body usually does die after she has taken it over.

Not for Lucio who ended up in a different body but still lives.
