I think the point of his death was to establish that not everyone goes in some mind-blowing, heroic way - people die in the most underwhelming, undeserving (for a character) ways, and that's life. While there is a chance of his survival, I don't think he's alive and I honestly don't want him to be alive because I think his death established an important aspect of "not every death is meaningful/not everyone can be expected to die in touching, dramatic scenes."
