Ser muerto = To be killed (also be dead, like be a living dead)

Estar muerto = To be dead.

Which should be quite easy to remember because both words derive from Latin stare to place, put, stand , as do many others describing position - station, static, establish etc.

In fact in the phrase with a little to slang in Mexico is most common that you says to be died than Ser muerto.


It's literally used for the kind to term that is accustomed to use here in my country.
