Yes, it’s likely that the original Morpheus is dead in Matrix Resurrections.

With the Matrix Online game in which Morpheus died being considered canon, it makes sense that he is dead in Matrix Resurrections.

Though his death isn’t explicitly mentioned, a statue of the original Morpheus is shown during Neo’s visit to Io.

Even if Morpheus’ death in Matrix Online wasn’t considered canon, 60 years have passed since the events of Matrix Revolutions. Though Niobe has survived and achieved the rank of General, Morpheus may have died of illness or old age.

A statue of Morpheus is shown in one of the rooms on Io, where many other dead humans have been laid to rest. This suggests Morpheus is also dead.
