Considering a bitcoin owner of large amount, and he died w/o sharing his user/pw, Are those coins can be considered as deadcoin since those coins will not circulate anymore in the Network?

It's unlikely that anyone with a substantial amount of coins will die without sharing their wallets/encryption with their heirs. We already have an example of someone passing their coins to their family - Hal Finney.
