Yup, he is very much alive. There attacks on bank and all the crazy stuff that done by Humpty Dumpty and Jack was to be sorted out so he took the blame and then staged his death by asking Shell to shoot at the point which was protected by a rock http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/blood_bank/mf/c061/19/
so he is alive living in his father's cottage and is later joined by Shell.
Figuratively, right? ( ° ʖ °)
