It's unfortunate but until the authors come up with a possible comeback for Pyrrha, I believe she died. Her dying the way she did could be due to Cinder... Cinder could of just been showing off a display of powers she already had or new powers she aquired which burnt Pyrrha's physical body, leaving it to scatter like ashes. :/

I do have to admit that I want to see how her death is going to affect Jaune from here on out, and how he chooses to approach future situations. I think her death will be significant enough to make him a character who develops a serious outlook on things prior to his former jokester persona in the series so far. Although it is needless to say her death will affect what is leftover of JNPR as a whole but I predict that it will affect Jaune specifically on a much greater level.
