And on a sidenote: 'Under pending' would be quite proficient as well.

1. You share that you're making work of figuring out a status & not just brushing a label over it, that barely says anything about the character's condition.

2. That way you'd shut up the crowd for a bit. (That might very well not be true xD). But it might spur some people to start thinking alongside the staff & give some meaningful insights to implement in the pending of the status.

3. Worst case scenario it drags on til the next week, but you might have a clearer answer with a new chapter.

Working out a few more common categories besides 'alive', 'deceased' & 'unknown', might help out in adjusting to such a system as well.

'alive', 'Unknown whereabouts', 'Sickness/disease', 'vegetative state', 'wounded', 'mortally wounded', 'unknown condition', 'inconclusive', 'under pending', '...', 'dead'

To give some random examples. I'm sure we can find a short enough way to explain the status of a character, no matter the situation.
