For Lelouch to be alive from that explanation, he would have to have inherited the immortality from Charles (and also not lost his Geass). For Charles to have died, it would erase all of his Geass' work, which we see is not true when Gottwald returns Anya's memories afterwards. All of Lelouch's uses of the Geass were explained away by the end, so whether he is alive or dead falls completely onto the 'masked cart driver' theory.
