"Mi abuela está muerte muerta" is the correct translation. The choice of verb has nothing to do with the temporary or permanence of death.
Please note that the post you're quoting, as the original poster said, is not exhaustive, and it was meant for people to add useful ideas and tips for learners (and findings by learners themselves).

Also, please note that the hardest things for some students who have been taught the temporary/permanent rule have also been discussed and explained in later messages.
