Actually, Vader's body was shown to be cremated, which confirmed his death (not to mention Anakin Skywalker's spirit appeared at the very end of Return of the Jedi). And Johnson's body was shown falling off the platform and into the abyss, whether or not he had already succumbed to his wounds or not. Although I see the point you were making, take note that Six's death is far more ambiguous by literal means, even if it's clear that he or she was meant to die by symbolic means. If you really want to get technical, it wouldn't be all that far-fetched to assume that Six died somewhere between 2552 and 2589, and Halsey's eulogy can be taken by several meanings, which makes it possible that Six might even be alive after 2589.
