to me, they seem the same, but surely there’s a subtle nuance.
like, for example, i’ve heard: “i thought he died.” and “i thought he was dead” and they seem like synonyms.

While they both have the same meaning; he died implies knowledge of the death before, he’s dead fits more when you’ve just figured out that the person in question is dead.
“He’s dead, presumably because he died”
People die if they are killed
Who kills someone who dies of natural causes?
The grim reaper, I assume.
