"Dead" isn't a verb, so it doesn't have a tense.

"Dead" can be used as an adjective: dead flowers, a dead sleep.

It can be used as an adverb: I am dead serious.

As a noun: remembering the dead.

You can still use the past tense for anyone who isn't dead, when describing something that they have done, or used to do (but don't currently do). For example "she was doing the ironing" or "he loved doing the gardening". From these examples, neither imply that the person is dead, just that they did something.
