I feel as though Cinder isn't dead. She's most likely frozen, and still at the top of the tower, or was taken by Emeralnd/Mercury. Because if Ruby had killed Cinder, the Maiden's power would have most likely transferred to Ruby, since Ruby was basically in Cinder's final thoughts. It's pretty much presumed that Pyrrah is dead. The characters seem to explicitly say that Ozpin is "missing," as opposed to dead. If he was dead, I don't think that someone like Qrow would sugarcoat his words.
