I think that if the body dies, the soul goes to sovngarde or any other daedric realm. Once it gets reanimated by a necromancer, the soul gets ripped out of sovngarde, but under control of the caster. In this way, the body can still act like a person (fight). I think that in the case of draugr and ghosts, whatever magic reanimates them will corrupt their soul. That is Why they are still acting like the persons they once were (for an example, draugr still say things in their own language)
