vitalStatus reads 'restored to life after death', a value the corpus already uses, because the tradition does not leave him dead: Shiva relents and he is revived, in most tellings with a goat's head. The treatment consulted gives the beheading and not the revival, so the lifecycle stops at the beheading and the vitalStatus carries the rest with the honesty of a single word rather than an uncited paragraph.
