Something that has never been alive means it is a non-living thing without any life and characteristics of living organism. Whereas......

A dead organism may mean that ONCE it used to be a living organism and had all the living organism's characteristics...

but all of these functions has JUST collapsed in it to happen.

So, the conclusion is a dead organism has stopped to possess the characteristics of living organism, however it can't YET be classified as a non-living material.

Simply it has stopped to possess characteristics like a living organism.

Therefore, a dead has

1. no more nutrition -( digestion)

2. no more respiration

3. no reproduction

4. no homoeostasis

and neither stimulation nor excretion.

So, what may be the difference between a dead living and a non-living?

Practically and also in biological point of view -NO DIFFERENCE at all.

CONCLUSION: A non-alive or non-living is always an object or thing that never have any characteristics of living objects, whereas a dead object used to have all the characteristics but just stopped to have at present.
