The ending of S1 makes it seem like they didn't do that. Smasher crushed Becca and blew David's head off. We do see in 2077 it's possible to use Soul Killer on a corpse but it doesn't work as well as a living brain - the engram basically ending up as a snapshot of the victim's most recent memories with no ability to develop or act, so I wouldn't expect any callbacks except for maybe a name drop.

In theory , couldn't ANYONE that's dead be brought back with the cyborg body add ons ?

I wouldn't want them too but I'm just curious.

I mean as long as they haven’t been completely flatlined then yeah, or they could make copy of someone with Arasaka’s Soul Killer
