Telling your roles to each other is sharing gameplay-relevant information, and therefore cheating.

Let's assume you didn't share your roles. About saying you have died:

1. In many cases, you will already know your friend's nickname when the game starts (because they always use the same name, or names of a theme). When that person dies ingame, you will already know your friend died, so it is not new information if your friend says so.

2. Even if you did not know your friend's nickname, it is not cheating if he only says he died and who he was. Ingame names are not gameplay-relevant information.

TL;DR you can tell each other your nicknames, but not anything else, or it is cheating.
