Jesus always use the work "ASLEEP" to denote people that are physically dead, but can be raise up at the last day or when he so chooses.
See John 11:11 These were the things he said. Then after this he told them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am leaving to wake him up."
However, Jesus did not use this "ASLEEP" in John 6:49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness and died.
John 6:50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that a person may eat it and not die.
Notice that whoever eat the bread will not die. This must be the physical dead. If it is spiritual dead, I believe Jesus should have use ASLEEP, consisten with other part of the Gospel.
