well, all those states are substates of being alive, so you can sort of boil those other ones away. unless hot electrodes were introduced to the body, it wouldn't jump if it was dead.
in fact the schrodingers cat experiment points out that the cat is NOT dead or alive, but rather a place between those states until the event is observed (i.e. opening the box) and the probability waveforms collapse. so, yeah, there is a third possible state of unlife/undeath. It's an unzombie kitty.
