So what is it that we are afraid of? Interesting paradox!
IMHO, we can't be spiritually dead, we can only forget that we are always spiritually alive by listening to the learned ego identity or social chatter in our head instead of what we truly know.

What are we afraid of? Our negative fantasies projected on what we don't know.

And yes, I too belief that there are many many ways to die, and have died many of those ways along the journey. Parts of it needs to stay dead. Physical death may just be a welcomed relief when it comes.
