Our instinct as audience members tell us Cinder isn't dead, but there is no feasible way for her to be alive.

She fell an absurd distance after being frozen solid. Even if she somehow survived the impact of landing, there's no way her Scroll would survive, so she's end up stuck there forever, not able to contact anyone. I have no clue how she'd not be dead.
