User blog comment:Hihowru/Does Lelouch really die in the end?/@comment-49.238.49.165-20130728055021

U guys can choose whichever ending u like.If u wan't him to be dead then just think he is dead and don't overthink it and if u wan't him to be alive.....................

Yo guys the origami crane at the end is proof if u wan't him to be alive.There are two possibilities

1) if it is made by lelouch then it is proof that he is alive and

2)if it is made by C.C then it explains that she made it because her wish has come true, throughout the series C.C always told that she would never  let him die until their contract is  fullfilled.

So guys what I think is that the director made this ending by hiding the fact that  the cart driver may be lelouch so to let us think, in this  way fans who wan't him to be alive and those who wan't him to  be dead are satisfied :)

I personally prefer him to be alive
