That's probably because corpses can't speak (unless you believe in mediums and the occult and that sorta stuff).
When someone is dead people can put whole stories in his mouth, because a corpse can't say that those who only use him for their stories are a lyin' pack o' vultures who prey on the dead.
I guess this is also the main reason why the Catholic Church proclaims that only deceased people can become saints. Because living saints are able to contradict the church.
