By our current definitions of "alive" and "dead" - no.

Science has not yet really found a good definition of life. We recognize that a living person is composed of atoms - but their dead body is composed of the same atoms. We can recognize "life" down to the cellular level but the individual atoms that a cell is composed of do not seem to display the characteristics of "life". The best we can say is that the atoms that were once part of a living person are now part of a dead person.
