He is physically dead, that much is fact. Otherwise he wouldn't have needed to fuse with Oscar through the power of convenience.

And of course, that is also a fact, that he fused with Oscar.

The OP's idea is the best in this case. He died, that's fact, and his soul fused with Oscar's, that's also a fact.
