Depends on the human. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotard%27s_syndrome

Side note: I am furious that I wasn't able to find the name of this syndrome without ChatGPT. Is this a skill issue or are traditional search engines (in this case DuckDuckGo) just completely useless now?

I googled "human thinks he's dead" and that Wikipedia page was the first result

Why "human"? Seems a weird way to phrase it but I can't deny it works.

Normally these types of articles use more clinical verbiage
