Because Ghastly Demise isn't put into your graveyard until it's finished resolving, it won't be counted when determining whether the creature is destroyed.
(10/11/2020)
Ghastly Demise can target any nonblack creature. Compare the creature's toughness to the number of cards in your graveyard as Ghastly Demise resolves to see if that creature is destroyed.
