This would be fairly normal. As a medic we came up with our own terms at big incidents because it was disruptive to talk about topics normally while maneuvering through crowds.
A “smurf” was a common street term for respiratory arrest due to cyanosis causing a bluish pallor. If they were smurfy enough they were CTD or DRT (circling the drain or dead right there). We also weren’t supposed to leave bodies around where people could trip on them either.
Did you wear a t-shirt depicting blue beings going through a portal, morphing into something else while responding at an event a lot to believe to be a ritualistic sacrifice? No? So not as fairly normal as one might think then, eh?
... well don't look at me.

No, I was usually wearing a polo shirt with the star of life on it — I was a medic, not a devil-worshipping rapper lol
Just saying, whoever was medical incident command would have selected the terms unless it was SOP somewhere.
I appreciate you chiming in with your logical, plausible real-world explanation.
Name checks out
Define "dead"...
did you recently vote in the New Jersey election?
