It's polite to ask how they are doing not if they are dead yet.
I wasn't addressing his relatives, and it wasn't intended to be rude anyway. If someone is seriously ill and you first hear it's not likely they will survive, how is it wrong to ask if they have died or are still alive?
I'm actually a very polite person, thank you very much. A lot more well mannered than most people.
If someone here takes offence after I explained the logic, they are just as judgemental and ignorant as some NT's. Actually, even worse, because at least you would have thought that sharing the same condition, would mean a little more understanding.
