Dead Man Walking

He's got as much life as a flat battery.
He's past tense.
He's history
He's joined the cemetery club
He's breathed his last
There's more life in a bowl of chili
As far as heartbeat's are concerned he doesn't have one.
He's knocking on Heaven's door
He's just about to meet St Peter
Say hello to the Pearly Gates for me
His last Will and Testament can be read now.
Hope he's wearing clean underwear for the mortician.
Wonder if he's been measured for his box yet? He needs it.
Another vacant plot in the cemetery filled.

"He's a dead man" is itself a metaphor, for "he's going to have consequences for something he's done wrong." Other metaphors for this are:
he's toast
he's finished
he's history
