[Bakura's deck has always relied on taking damage and making sacrifices for its success; he summons Dark Necrofear to the field by doing exactly that. He knows that Atem is likely to be expecting the Destiny Board gambit as well and while he does have the cards in his deck, he's not planning on using them in this duel. But what does surprise him is that he's actually enjoying himself.]
According to the Null, brain dead still counts as dead, and though they didn't say as much, I got the impression that they'd be somehow checking or inspecting the body. By removing the soul, the body is brain dead. So yes, it would work.
