Player 1 was the active player(living death). Player 2 (with the cauldron) was second in turn order, and player 3 (with the gearhulk) was next in turn order.
I have a related question. In a recent game of commander the active player (player 1) casts living death. Player two responds activating cauldron of souls targeting all his creatures. Player three has a Cataclysmic Gearhulk in the graveyard that is returned with the living death.
Will the creatures with persist now be subject to the sacrifice from the gearhulk?
