Fun fact: there’s no rule that you don’t get a turn while dead. Granted, you’re usually unconscious, but if you die from massive damage or from failing a save against an instant death affect you never go unconscious.
I love overly pedantic interpretations of the rules. It does say that participants in a battle take turns in combat. I wonder if that’s enough to define that dead creatures can’t act.
I believe dead creatures are objects rather than creatures but the problem is that the combat section is written in second person so it doesn’t seem to matter if you’re a creature or not. It simply says you take your turn.
