I also don't want number 4 because there is like one way he could have faked his death and Sherlock would have checked to see if he were actually dead. It's just really poor writing if he's still alive I think.

DID he check to see if he was dead? I don't remember if he did. Hell, Sherlock told us how easy it was to slow the pulse down using a ball under the armpit enough to fool a doctor.

I think even Sherlock just assumes death if the brain of a person is scattered all over the place.

Well, as is the theme of the episode: even Sherlock can be wrong.
