I'd agree with your comment that Frodo started living in both worlds, but cannot agree that he 'died'. We all know, his wound was spiritual more than being physical; and this is why his spirit was "torn" between the two worlds. The impossibility of his returning to the formar life was not only because of the wound from Morgul Blade,but other reasons too. (my ramblings )
