We do not know how he died or how he would have reacted to the Cleansing, so we can only judge how the Protagonist, a supposed Fleshless One reacted. It is safe to assume any Fleshless One would have been just as resistant as the Protagonist. Coarek was paralyzed so this would indicate he wasn't a Fleshless One.Wait, Tealor wasn't dead (in neither of the endings, I think), it's there that he says the "I led them to the light. I, alone."
The reactions to the Cleansing are as follows: Tealor (known Fleshless if the Black Guardian tells the truth) is dying, and is delusional. Coarek (a possible Fleshless, there is some circumstantial evidence) is dying and doesn't react to the Prophet. The abandoned companion (possibly Fleshless or otherwise immortal, again some circumstantial evidence) is also dying and doesn't react, the reactions of all the sodliers who we can presume are not immortal or supernatural in any way is the same as the reactions of everyone else.
Opposite to that, the reaction of the saved companion is different, they are affected by the Cleansing, but can still do things (as they either get to out of Enderal, or get to the Starling module, both on their own). And the Prophet says that they don't feel much, but I had this graphical overlay over the model in 3rd person like if the Prophet was burning, no idea if other players experienced the same.
So from that I would assume that the main difference between all the characters is whether they were present at the Beacon when it was lit (those are dying, regardless of their Fleshless status), or if they were below ground at the Black Guardian (those are somewhat affected, but still very much alive). So I don't think the Beacon tells us anything about the Fleshless.
