Well she couldn't be "literally dead" --not unless she was brought back by the Lazarus Pit lol. I guess the pill was a simple way for the writers to confirm how Artemis played possum. Realistically, I think she would still have a few signs of brain activity. For example, when she was in her unconcious state and entirely "stopped breathing"... the lack of oxygen would kill a crap load of brain cells, resulting with a veggie state Artemis. ...But this is a cartoon show... so realism is out the window haha. But I just wish her possum state was explained more logically in depth (no pun intended), besides simply implying that the pill helped stage her "death."
