That's what we're saying. They aren't dead. They would come back to life at the beginning of the turn after they died, so they would be alive and available to help.

I suppose it might be POSSIBLE for somebody to get killed, by a curse or something, before combat on somebody else's turn, which means they WOULD be dead during somebody else's combat. I don't know what cards, if any, exist that would make that happen (I can't think of any offhand, but my knowledge of card text is FAR from comprehensive), but if it did, I would assume that THEN they couldn't help while dead. But I'm not certain.
