Both comments appeared as [dead] within a few minutes of being made, despite not appearing as [flagged].
They're visible now, but still. What caused them to appear as [dead] in the first place?

There are several possible reasons, so I'd need links to the specific posts in order to answer.

There was another sibling comment posted around the same time that was also dead.
Your comment was autokilled because our software classified it as AI-generated :) It was a false positive and another user has since vouched for it.
For the record: we never delete anything, aside from very rare cases in which a user asks us to delete something for privacy reasons. Plenty of posts get killed by flags or software filters (spam, abuse, etc), but these can all be seen by turning 'showdead' on in your profile.
