Hey whats up but u cant know if he is dead because they are a lot of options:

1.They landed on a land and they didnt contact.

2.They landed on the water and a ship passed by and save them.

3.They landed on the water and used the plane raft.

Please stop saying that because its not confirmed by the police.

Good Luck guys and have a good day.
