Kamijou (nil_fortune)... has died on a metaphorical level? He lost all his memories after a magic feather destroyed a part of his brain. Also his right hand negates supernatural phenomena, so even if he were dead, I guess Nico wouldn't sense anything anyway.
Makoto (this guy)... is a little more interesting. SPOILERS for Persona 3?
SO, he's housed Death within him for ten years. In this case, Death is essentially the harbinger of the apocalypse, and takes the form of Thanatos, who in Greek mythology is the God of Death and son of Nyx, the Primordial Deity of the night. In Persona 3's case, Nyx is the one who allegedly introduced the concept of death to the world, and is capable of bringing absolute death to all living things in one fell swoop, which is essentially its entire function in the game: an unstoppable death bringer synonymous with the concept of death itself and comes in response to humanity's despair, malice and subconscious desire for death. ... So yeah, Makoto's had that sealed inside him for ten years. It's not there anymore, but it's left its mark, so-to-speak. Death is one of Makoto's primary Arcana, and Thanatos is one of his main Personas, which is basically a physical manifestation of his psyche. The Persona is in fact the solidified representation of his bond of friendship with Death.
Oh, also, he's dead now, 'cause he used up his life force to create a seal between Nyx and humanity's malice in order to keep them separate and stop the end of the world. Or rather, his soul itself IS the seal, but that's not really an issue in camp, I'm guessing.
