We saw her split in half, and we saw the body. All we get with Ironwood is his oh shit moment, and then the ship starting to go down. If they really wanted it clear Ironwood was dead, they could have cut to the outside of the ship, then cut back to the inside, shown him slumped against the ship controls (not even showing blood), and then cut to the ship starting to go down. That would be indisputable.

However, they way it went down made the entire scene seem very...bait-y. Like they're trying to make us think he's dead, but he actually isn't.

Well there's Tuckson, but he's kind of minor.

Anyways, everything we just saw from Ironwood suggests, he can handle a group of Knights. Especially when students can. However, he can't stop them from firing around and blowing up the ship.
