Yes, you are correct. Dead can be used as a predicative and attributive adjective. Most adjectives can be used as both a predicative and attributive adjective.
- He is dead
dead comes after the linking verb is in this sentence, so it is a predicative adjective.
- DeadThe dead man is over there.
Dead comes before the noun man in this sentence, so it is an attributive adjective. An article "The" is also needed for English grammar.
