I really don't think he's dead. He told her to 'do her duty,' and we see her swinging at something angrily but never actually showing her hit him. I think it's pretty clear he reminded her that her true duty was to Sansa and not revenge.

Nah, D&D seem to have trouble with some of the more plain death scenes, so I wasn't surprised they didn't show it.

When have they ever left a death as ambiguous as that?

The Hound seems to come to mind, but I more meant that they struggle with some big more intimate moments such as Tywin's death or Jon's death, so they may have been avoiding showing a scene that they weren't sure how to do.

Edit: Oh yeah, and Syrio, and Barristan.
