True, to truly kill a dragon one mus absorb their soul, that is to stop them from rising from the grave by a necromancer's hand, such as Alduins. Like humans, they can still experience physical death, but their souls are still intact. It is not known where the dragon's soul goes to after death, but we know that some humans go to Sovngarde or Hircine's field's. But dragons can still be killed. It's just unless their soul is absorbed, they can rise again from the grave, but one must cause that to happen.
