Define dead? At this point for me I don't see a need for a DSLR. I'm happy with mirrorless. In a few years the technology will be to the point that there won't be a need to look through a lens. It's almost there for all cases now. The main drawback for mirrorless is the existing infrastructure; variety of lenses and accessories.
I think the question is are interchangeable lens cameras dead? Klaus just made a post about the new iPHone 11 pro. Most people are happy with the performance of their smartphones and the images they produce. People ask my why I'm using my camera when I have a smart phone that takes great pics. For the most part printing images is even dead.
At this point ILCs are more of a niche item than slr's ever were.
