Until there is more information given i do not think it can be started he is dead. Cause as it stands he had one of the single most survivable deaths ever. Now I’m not saying he is alive but if he is dead more info needs to be given/shown as to why.

Now I’m talking strictly from a writing standpoint.



1. Being swallowed whole is often survived.



2. Being swallowed whole with your weapon is almost always survived.



3. The creature that swallowed him is immidatly taken off screen leaving both their final fates unseen.



4. No information exists on what happens to people grimm eat. Since they do not require food no one knows what being eaten really entails.



5. The explosion and crash are more than enough delayed an escape by the grimm/torchwick can easily be made especially Torchwick given his feats of survival previously.



6. The "confirmed dead" status has a flaw to it and that is countless characters that had deaths even less survivable then this were "confirmed" or were said to be dead by writers and producers only to make a return down the road. So basically they lied to preserve the surprise. Many have done that’s nothing new so you really can't put much stock in this. Thats were the whole "no body, not dead" view came from.



So with all of this if he is dead they gave him the one of the most doubtable deaths ever written because with the information we have this death is tailor made for a character be it villain or hero to survive. So if he is dead they need to explain it somehow to where it makes sense that he didn't make it. And considering all that’s been given is some of them alluding to that he is dead and one person just i think saying it with no additional reason or anything to me that says they just want people to look away from him. Now this could mean he is in fact dead and gone and they just want to move on but if that’s the case as it stands there’s holes in his death that need to be filled to cement it. Or they could just be acting out he is dead as many creators have done in the past to keep the surprise of his return for later. Either way something has to happen for this whole situation to make sense writing wise and only time will tell if that happens.
