Giselle has the ability to heal fatal injuries. She survived worse when Kensei stabbed her in the heart or when a random Shinigami slashed her lungs. The wound Yhwach inflicted looks comparatively minor. She is named zombie girl for a reason. Isn't saying she is deceased too much of an assumption? And when Ichigo and Orihime arrive in the throne room we get a look of the place, Giselle's and Liltotto's bodies are gone. Yhwach had just woken up and no one is allowed to enter the room anyway. She is also confirmed to be alive in the novels and not just the novels, but also promotional advertisement that was published in Jump. An interview with one of the novel authors also confirmed that the stuff revealed in novels is canon.

We never saw what happened to BG9. And later when Yhwach used the Auswahlen on the lower ranked Sternritter, there were eight lights, but only seven Sternritter were seen (Giselle, Liltotto, Meninas, Candice, NaNaNa, Bazz-B and Robert), so at least another Sternritter was around then. BG9 should be listed as unknown.
