We have cases of people simply being in an object state and still coming back into human form (off the top of my head: Drizella, Merlin, and Amara), and yet others seem to be permanent (Gepetto's parents). Basically, it is whatever the writers decide it is. I agree with that. Also, usually if the object looks dead it probably is. (Gothel probably is dead even though we don't have proof)
