"Where in Daredevil #262 does it say definitively that he's dead?" https://readcomiconline.to/Comic/Daredevil-1964/Issue-262?id=820#11 https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-u0vnFSbToH8/Vj2OIQ-XJkI/AAAAAAAAhgw/_CVskhPccRQ/s1600-Ic42/13.png

"If you want to provide legitimate sources from other issues that's fine, but in Daredevil #263 he credits Stick's training rather than it being outright his faith." Actually, no, he didn't credit Stick's training. He just recalled something Stick said.

The story deals with a strong Catholic man dealing with demons, and even accomplishing things he prayed to do in Mehpisto's "hell", later on:

The story even goes on to say it is the power of his own spirit keeping him strong, not martial arts training:

The flame of his faith even accomplishes other miracles:

Later on, his flame made through prayer is called pure:

Even Mephisto says Daredevil is pure and noble.

I think this all goes towards his faith and spirituality being his shield against evil, Mephisto's realm and his demons. It's 2 stories about a demonic being vs a devout Catholic, described as being noble and pure, and speaks of Jesus, when leaving Mephisto's realm. Everything points towards his spirituality being his protection, not martial arts. However, if you don't want references to Christ on your site, and would rather say it's martial arts chi/ki training, I understand. In any event, I've shown you where it was mentioned, on more than one occasion, that Daredevil was indeed dead, and that between the punishment he'd endured from his enemies, the exploding parade float he was on, and falling from the bridge, he did die.

On a side note, I measured the bridge scene. The fall looks to be approximately 45'. This was judged by using Daredevil's body (which is 6', not 5' 11": https://www.marvel.com/characters/daredevil-matthew-murdock/in-comics).  If you choose not to use the measurement for his height, or fall, I understand.  I'm just trying to make the case that Daredevil was able to supercharge his healing (using Stick's training) to literally bring himself back from death, itself (in a much more dramatic way than Hartigan did, from Sin City), and get back on his feet and in fighting shape in a way no normal Human Being could, which, at least, borders on superhuman.  MINIMALLY, I'd say that makes his physical endurance Peak Human.
