Is it true that the skin cells that shed from the human body's surface are already dead, flattened keratinized cells when they fall off?

Yes. A Britannica reference states that living epidermal cells push old cells toward the skin surface to die and become keratin protein, which directly supports that shed skin cells are dead, keratinized cells. Two other sources partially support the picture by describing keratinized skin cells and the constant shedding of the outer skin layer.
