The buffer object for the buffer that has been killed remains in existence as long as anything refers to it, but it is specially marked so that you cannot make it current or display it. Killed buffers retain their identity, however; if you kill two distinct buffers, they remain distinct according to eq
although both are dead.

But buffer-list doesn't return killed buffers:
"Return a list of all existing live buffers."
