Look mate, this pilot is definitely deceased. He’s bleeding demised. He’s not pining for the fjords, he’s passed on. This pilot is no more. He has ceased to be. He’s expired and gone to meet his maker. This is a late pilot. He’s a stiff. Bereft of life, he rests in peace. He’s pushing up the daisies. He’s rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-pilot.

thanks.
Do a search for Monty Python Dead Parrot Sketch and you’ll see the connection!
And, at Python member Graham Chapman’s funeral, John Cleese gave the eulogy in almost the exact same words.
