I mean... Sandor Clegane is though to be "dead" too. Yet there's an entire theory that he's not actually dead. Rather that The Hound — the metaphorical representation of all his hatred and anger and sadness — is metaphorically dead. That Sandor himself, the man, is alive and now living at peace on the Quiet Isle.
Again, "dead" in this realm just doesn't carry the kind of weight we seemingly expect it to. Not when entire armies can be raised from it. Not when blood magic can bring a bifurcated man back and a woman with her head nearly cut off back from it.
Frankly, I couldn't give less of a shit what the show-runners or actors are saying in interviews the both of them are granting to an enterprise who is owned by the same company as HBO is (Time Warner). Especially when interviews like this are so easily taken out of context (or can be argued were taken out of context) because they lack certain, shall we say, finality.
Knowing what "dead" in this realm means, or often doesn't mean, an interview in EW about the supposed fate of a character that's carried by the quote "I've been told I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm not coming back next season" is one I'll take with a large grain of salt.
When dead is dead in this world, it's accompanied by a better, more finite quote like. "He's dead. He's never coming back. Ever. No magic, no tricks, no bullshit. The character is dead." Usually in a more print-friendly rendition.
