Unlike English, no words are being added in Latin. This makes Latin a dead language because it isn't being "developed" anymore.
One reason Latin is considered 'dead' is that it is not being used by a society. The people that spoke it everyday are 'dead' and no one grows up speaking it.

Latin is considered a dead language because it is no longer the native language of any community. It is still used in certain contexts such as in the Catholic Church, legal terminology, and scientific names, but it is no longer spoken colloquially. The evolution of Latin into modern Romance languages contributed to its decline as a spoken language.
