All Christian scholars agree that Adam and Eve were still physically mortal before sin came into play. Before sin, death existed. Why have a Tree of Life if you were going to live forever anyway?
It is clear then that death in the Bible refers to spiritual death.
You can look up the work of John Collins and also John Day to see the prominent scholars understanding of this utilising all the interlinears you would like wotsup.
If death in the Bible therefore refers to spiritual death, then you cannot be so sure about "people are still dying".....I can report to you that Baha'u'llah has told me that in Him there is death no more.
