Comment on what’s the difference between “he died” and “he’s dead”?

While they both have the same meaning; he died implies knowledge of the death before, he’s dead fits more when you’ve just figured out that the person in question is dead.

    Who kills someone who dies of natural causes?

    The grim reaper, I assume.

    Yes, I think.
    
    Although, if I shoot you, and you’re clinically dead, but the EMTs arrive just in time with those Shocker Pads of Cure Serious Wounds and patch you up with 3d8 hp… Did I kill you?
