Something that is dead is non living, but something that is non living isn't necessarily dead (that's probably confusing). Example: rocks are non living but not dead. Dead means it once lived but does no more. Non living usually means it never lived. http://www.usoe.k12.ut.us/curr/science/sciber00/7th/classify/living/2.htm
