Well, dodo birds are dead and if someone says that it means you're dead like not almost but dead.
The saying "dead as a dodo" came from the fact that the dodo became a symbol of extinction of a species. Within 70-90 years of the dodo being discovered, it had been hunted and preyed to extinction. The saying "dead as a dodo" had a finality about it - it was irreversibly, undeniably dead, and there was no hope.
Another saying for "dead as a dodo" would be "dead as a doornail."
Because dodo birds became extinct about 400 years ago, so therefore none survived. Therefore, if something's "dead as a dodo," it's undeniably dead.
