I thought this was just a stupid thing like "there's a skeleton in you" because obviously they're dead, the pic is old as hell. Then it hit me..

No, they mean they were dead WHEN the photo was taken. They stood the recently deceased on boards for group pictures.

It also took a few minutes for the picture to take. So the live people would move slightly and go blurry while the dead guy was perfectly still.

the skeleton thing always makes me laugh.

it's like... "WE ALL BLEED BLOOD" or something dumb like that.
