But that's the thing. The animating force be it soul, demon or whatever is still ANIMATING it and that's why it's not dead. It's like a living person and it's soul.
That's like saying, if you shoot me in the head, it destroys an important part of my body and the animating force that inhabits my body leaves/is extinguished.
The same thing would happen to a zombie. That's called death. The undead DIE because they aren't dead.
