Deceased seems like the most logical and accurate status to me, but in the event that we do wind up putting an extra word in there, "presumed deceased" sounds a lot better than "likely dead" because "presumed" is stating it how its presented. They show him getting eaten, cast says he's dead, that's pretty dead to me. Putting "likely" to me just sounds like "Oh I don't know if it's actually true", when as far as the show and cast have gone, there's been nothing to suggest that he is alive. Amber, Pyrhha, and Tukson's pages all say "Deceased", and you could just as easily invent arguments about them being alive, such as "Maybe Amber's spirit is still alive due to maiden powers and the machine transferring her aura, Maybe Pyrhha's still alive because she turned into dust instead of just laying there dead, Maybe Tukson is alive because we didn't see his dead body." (no, I do not believe those arguments) With Tukson, it showed Mercury kicking towards him once, and then cast said that he's dead, and we all went along with it. With Roman, it showed him being swallowed whole, and then the ship exploding and crashing, with the cast also stating that he's dead. Could the writers change their mind later on and change it so that he's alive? Sure. They could also write in that Ruby's real name is actually Francisco Montegue Zanzibar.
