I am sure I have. I think it had a lot to do with the information and the detail that was put into the records by the priest. I always considered it a bonus of information when the record said a person was dead. An example might be that the priest knew that a parent was dead because he conducted the funeral three months prior so when he wrote the marriage record he added that information.
The only time I think he was required to right that a person was dead was in a marriage where a widow or widower were remarrying, in that case he was required to say that the former wife/husband was dead and buried. Also in Obitos he would say if the person was currently married or was a widow/widower.
