Maybe, the Numinex never died and the skull in Dragonsreach is skull of dragon defeated by previous Dragonborn, and perhaps that he couldn´t die they relased him? Think about it like the real name theory, no one could absorb his soul so he could not be turned into skeleton right? So how about that´s compleetely different dragon skull in Dragonsreach. To the real name idea, he was probably not hunted by the Blades, so Numinex might be the Blackreach dragon... the dragon in black reach is vulthuryol and he has been there since the dragon war also a dragons skull could be removed and skinned soul absorbed or not
