If any particle dies, just add 1 to PT number… Or just see at the spreadsheet the ID numbers.

In a future version (9.0), yes. In 8.2 and below you need to stuff the ID into an attribute that can be displayed in the viewport, like uv.

Anothe option, not the best but sometimes useful for me is to use a font SOP and with Copy SOP tamp the id attribute and copy the font SOP to all the particles in the scene.
Dirty way but works.
But usually the solution that Miguel Perez pointed is the most used.
Un saludo
