I do not think that Sirius Black is dead. He however passed through the
veil, and due to Harry, Hermione and Ron's good relationship with the
dead will be able to pass through once more and get him out. Anyone
with a comment or theory please reply.

That very question was put to JKR after OotP was released.  She
specifically said that the character was dead (I believe when asked,
her exact words were "He's dead, Jim").  And at the end of OotP,
Nearly Headless Nick explained to Harry why Sirius wouldn't be coming
back as a ghost, and Dumbledore explained that "there is no potion to
bring back the dead."  Dead is dead, and Sirius is so.
