If it's sitting there in your mouth, then get it taken out because that can cause infection, bad breath, etc. Not to mention if it starts to noticeably rot, you're going to have a rotten tooth in you're mouth and that's pretty much disgusting.

Should you be able to see an old dead tooth after a crown has been fitted over it?
No, you should not be able to see an old dead tooth once a crown has been fitted over it. The crown should cover the entire tooth, including any discoloration from the dead tooth, providing a natural appearance. If you can still see the old dead tooth, it may indicate an issue with the crown placement or material.

What is the result of a dead nerve in your teeth?
Dying nerves (which I assume you've experienced, given the question) have a tendency of hurting. A lot. Dead nerves have a strong tendency of getting infected, which then brings you down the root of Tooth Abscesses and root canal and general dental hell. If your tooth nerve is dead, see your dentist. (S)He should remove the nerve and then fill the space left to re-inforce your tooth. Dead teeth also go dark-coloured. :(
What care should be taken of a dislodged tooth?
The tooth should be handled carefully; it should be picked up or touched by its crown (the top part of the tooth), not by its root. The tooth should be rinsed and kept moist, but not cleaned or brushed.
