To simply quote David as saying, Tony Soprano is not dead, is inaccurate.
There is a much larger context for that statement and as such, it is not true.
To continue to search for this answer is fruitless.

The final scene ofThe Sopranosraises a spiritual question that has no right or wrong answer.
But despite Chases words, that hasnt kept people from speculating including EW.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary ofThe Sopranosfinale, were resurfacing this debate between former EW writers over Tonys fate.
Tony Soprano: Alive or dead?
Exhibit A: We never see James Gandolfinis character die.
Audiences watched six seasons of explicit mob murders but were supposed to believe this one takes place off-screen?
Death-by-inference is just magical thinking, one tidy resolution for the finales maddening ambiguity.
Tony Soprano remains alive at the end.
Hes dead only insofar as the show has run its course.
And the actor who portrayed Big T: gone to the Bada Bing in the sky.
Its the only way the show could end, and thats why Tony Soprano is dead as Dillinger.
