estar muerto = to be dead
ser un muerto = to be a dead person
ser muerto = to be killed

Fueron muertos en manos del príncipe. = They were killed by the prince.

I think the example in your title is the 3rd usage. Something like this:

Cómo eran mis compañeros muertos en el mar = How my companions were killed at sea
