The fact that the white cloth is on him symbolizes his death. It's a way to put the body to rest. But yes, technically until it is confirmed by someone, he could be alive, but very unplausible. I wouldn't say the white cloth necesarrily symbolizes death, white usually symbolizes peace/and or surrender but of coures the entire ending was ambigious so its hard to say.
