This category always confused me

Many characters in Part 3 are given just a short description (The most common is the "X is hospitalized"), and are put in the category, but...we know where they are (hospital, so that also means they are alive), so what's unknown about it ? Other characters I agree are REALLY left with NO EXPLANATION AT ALL (Alessi, Steely Dan, Midler and Cameo are a few; even though Alessi is said to be "punched into oblivion", whatever that means) and i'm ok with it, but what about those that we are given a short destiny ? even if it's only "he's hospitalized" ?.

Also, what about the characters who are last shown as alive, but the conditions aren't too favorable ? like ZZ and the fake Tennile. Do we classify them as Living, Deceased or what ?

I know that characters at the end of the series who aren't given that description at the end (Tatto, Kempo Fighter, Messina) really are left with a unknown fate, but the examples above confused me...
