After his first and second deaths, Son Goku (Dragon Ball Z) was permitted to keep his physical body in the Other World.

John Milton (Drive Angry) being an escaped soul from hell is neither living nor extinguished. Ergo no matter what is done to him you can never kill a dead man.

Junpei Takeda (Dungeon Seeker)

The Buzzard (Darkhorse Comics) was once a simple lawman in a rural town that fell to ruin when a nameless pastor blew in. Cursing him with an unliving state that's maintained by the consumption of inert and necrotized tissue. Making him a living man who feeds upon the dead.

Half-ghosts (Danny Phantom) like Danny or Vlad have a unique physiology that allows them to be either ghost or human which means they are alive and dead at the same time.

The Transmode Virus (Marvel Comics) can be used to affect the revitalization of the dead...

thus enabling the creation of an army pertaining to ever living revenants.
