We have already a qualifier for this kind of stuffs, I think : P887
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P887> this is a bit of a corner
case because it’s not the value that is computed here but the existence of
a value, but I think it will do. We just need an item for this, something
such as « most likely dead because born long before » should do the trick.
