From West Hawaii today:
"Stewart and Pisciotta said they were never told to leave and stayed with the whale through the night and even after it died at about 1 a.m. When the sun came up, they transported the carcass by canoe a couple of miles offshore and conducted a Hawaiian burial ritual meant to help the animal 'transition into the realm of the deities.'"
They didn't take the animal to sea until several hours after it had died. I would think that given their experience, they would know whether the whale was dead before they went to so much trouble. And what would their motive be for burying a whale while it was still alive?

Certainty will be the death of us.
