This is confirmed in both the Manga and Anime.

As Zeref himself says- "A power from someone who was dead. Yes, that may be enough to kill me"

He never said from someone who had died, he said from someone who was dead.

So his power came from death. Its why its capable of killing the immortal Zeref.
