 Does Find My iPhone work when the phone is dead?

No, Find My iPhone will not work when the phone is completely dead as it requires the device to be connected to the internet or have cellular service in order to transmit its location to Apple's servers. However, if the phone is turned off or in sleep mode, it may still be possible to locate it using the "Lost Mode" feature, which will send a notification to your Apple ID email address when the device is located. Additionally, if the phone is turned on again and has internet or cellular service, its location will be updated and you will be able to track it using Find My iPhone.
