The only thing that confirms Summers death, at least for me, is Red Like Roses II. It's Ruby's main theme a sorrowful duet between mother and daughter and Ruby's feelings about Summer. There's several lines in Summer's part that make me believe she really died on that mission.

1. "I was sure I would see you when I made it back home." This line here means Summer failed, she was sure she would be successful but she wasn't. In her lament she apologizes over and over to Ruby about causing her pain and leaving her behind. This is probably Summer's final breaths and thoughts, she abandoned Ruby for a mission that was failed from the start.

2. "I made a sacrifice but forced a bigger sacrifice on you." Summer sacrificed her life and in turn a life with Ruby. Summer have up being her mom on that mission when she died possibly stopping Salem but as Hazel mentioned dealt with her kind and killed her. Now Ruby's being hunted down by WTCH for her power and vengence for injuring Cinder. Not really Summer's fault but she did pass on the Silver Eye power to Ruby.

3. "But baby please don't do what I did, I don't want you to waste your life in vain." This here is what soldifies that Summer died to me. "Don't do what I did, waste your life in vain." This is Summer's regrets that lead to her end and her hopes that Ruby won't end up like her. A Huntress tracking Salem down but unfortunately that's what's happeneing. Hazel called Ruby a novice which means Summer must've been very powerful but she was still taken down. In Summer's final moments she's scared Ruby will possibly end up like her, facing Salem, being overpowered by her, and slain by her hand.

There's other lyrics that also seem to support Summer died but you get the gist. The song pretty much confirms Summer's death like how Bad Luck Charm explains Qrow's semblance and the lfie he lives and his impact on others.
