"Elm is dead" means different things to different people. I think what most people mean is they are not adding the features that they want from Elm. Elm has a strong opinionated nature, as well as being very well scoped to the front end and using "TEA" system for rendering, so it may appear that it is dead because there isn't much to update anymore.
People are still working on Elm ecosystem packages, so I think that is evidence that it isn't dead. But it isn't as "alive" (or perhaps... hectic) as the JS ecosystem of course.
