No, we were always told Madara was dead with a big ol'question mark by the statement (Kyuubi raised the question, as did Jiraiya, then Itachi and then finally Madara himself), we simply assumed he was dead since his battle with Hashirama happened 50-60 years in the past (and when you take into account just how much he was foreshadowed in the end of Part I and the beginning of Part II, it seems pretty obvious that Madara was never confirmed dead by anyone).
Additionally, we saw Obito die (or at least we saw him seconds away from death, then a pull back as the rocks crushing him finished the job) and we saw Izuna's body laid out in a coffin, so taking those instance as well as the data book entries that list them as being dead, the only conclusion that we can draw is that the two characters are dead. That doesn't mean their bodies couldn't have been used for nefarious purposes (the Jyuubi took over the bodies, etc) or they couldn't have been resurrected (via Edo Tensei, etc), but with the information we have now, the statement "Obito/Izuna is dead" is fact, anything else is speculation and should be treated as such (of course, speculation can become fact over time, but right now "Obito/Izuna" is dead is still fact).
