Well now, I'd always imagined Skeletons to be 'dead', but enough of them can be found creaking around Skyrim, from behind the long-sealed doors of Nordic tombs to the open air of the Tundra. I also recall having a fair few fights with 'dead' Ghosts, not to mention the seemingly innumerate Draugr! Adding in the fact that Necromancy is far from being extinct in Skyrim, I would reassert that it's a valid question, Don and Oliver.
