User blog comment:Fluffylicious/Anyone annoyed by some of these retarded ' Ghost is alive' theories?/@comment-1763478-20100407214006

Ghost is probably one of the coolest characters in MW2. I can imagine myself in his position. But he is dead. People are plain idiots if they think he is alive. Nobody has ever survived a Magnum shot at PB range. (Point Blank) Even if he survived the shot, he would have burned from the fire, if he is lucky and survived the flames, he would have been captured or bled to death.

Also another annoying thing people post is that Ghost is Gaz. No Gaz did not survive and use a balaclava to hide the wound. They are two different people. Gaz's name isn't even Simon Riley, or it might be, it just hasn't been revealed yet, if Gaz is his real name.

It is possible that the two may be related, but I am not getting my hopes up about it. They did both die by a high caliber pistol by the main antagonist. Ironic if you ask me.
