People are idiots.

The writer of a story shouldn't have to explain that a character is dead after the viewer watches them get shot point blank by a .44, go completely limp, get thrown into a ditch, and get set on fire, all by the kind of military group that wouldn't accidentally leave someone alive, not to mention that this all occurs in hostile territory and the character is abandoned in the middle of nowhere with only two allies still potentially alive (Archer and Toad).

That isn't the sort of thing that is meant to leave the character's fate ambiguous or open to debate. HE'S FREAKING DEAD. Although MW2 is much less realistic than previous CoD games, it is still CoD, not an anime. That kind of thing means that the character is dead. Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead.
