He's definitely dead, because otherwise the show would totally suck. I mean, he sacrifices everying to bring peace to the world, which is totally epic, but it loses all meaning if he just used a double. Especially considering how he said that if you are going to kill you must be willing to be killed. An ending where he lives would be total crap and go against everything Lelouch stood for.
