This page seems to disagree with you.

As for Alduin, so as long as we find the god we can kill them? Taking the word of wiki-pages isn't necessarily a good thing to do. All aspects of gods are seperate deitys.

Unless you really want to believe that the Nordic idea of Lorkhan (Shor) and Akatosh (Alduin) is the only correct one.

Alduin is a god, and yes gods can die, though whether or not Alduin is literally dead, we don't know. I disagree with Alduin being a god, a god doesn't die. That's literally a ridiculous statement if you think about it. How can a god die? He's divine and is protected by powers of immortality. Alduin's powers are that OF a god but not A god. There's a difference.

If we were to compare Alduin i'd say he's close to Heracles where he was a son of a god. Alduin is the son of Akatosh a god. So one could argue he's not a true god but mimic's the powers of one very well. Who says Alduin died?

It is actually very likely that Akatosh, or another Aka shard, absorbed Alduin's soul as soon as his body got destroyed by the Dragonborn. The Dragonborn absorbs the souls of Dragons when their bodies get destroyed. The same logic gets applied to that.
