DD is dead, but is Sirius?

It is interesting to note that DD appeared after death in a portrait 
in his office, sleeping during H's visit to P.McG, (not ready/able to 
talk /animate ,yet?) However, SB has not appeared, that we know of, in 
a talking portrait. Perhaps he is not dead, having passed the curtain 
while still alive?  I note the difference between portraits and 
animated photos (imho): the photos are looped past history, like short 
movie clips, while the 'painted' portrait captures the continuing soul 
of the departed; portraits can initiate conversation and act in the 
present. gw73
