What did I misunderstand? "He was seen by the dead" is a grammatically correct sentence, although it does not represent a true fact because the dead cannot actually see. Exactly the same is true of "The dead saw him."

PS. However, these make an active-passive pair.

Someone saw him by the Dead Sea.

So, you intended "he was seen by the dead" to mean "he was seen near the dead"???!! Okay, I must say that I feel we've been taken advantage of.

I agree completely with khoff.

It would have been far more appropriate if you had simply asked whether the sentence you posted is likely to be understood with the meaning you intended it to have, and/or whether a native speaker of English would be likely to use the sentence at all.
