In this sense dead means no longer living.
Being legally dead can have different meanings. Modern medical treatments can make death difficult to determine so we have criteria for determining legal death. A person who has no brain activity after being seriously injured might be declared legally dead and removed from life support.
A person can be declared legally dead by a court if that person was known to be in a perilous situation the last time they were seen, such as a passenger who was a victim of a ship sinking whose body was never found. Also if a person has been missing for a number of years and there is no evidence that they are alive a court can declare they are legally dead.
