 * 1) There is no real ambiguity. There is no canon source anywhere that points to Six's survival, and all point towards their death.
 * 2) A severely wounded SPARTAN-III who are, at best, just slightly weaker than an Elite who is, by the way, a Zealot. A professionally trained child soldier who couldn't miss a target like a SPARTAN if they wanted to.
 * 3) I should note that that comment was focused on the post-mortem. Not the actual even of death.  What happens afterwards has a little ambiguity, but we can be certain beyond reasonable doubt that Six did not survive.  Odds are their body wasn't even removed from the area.
 * 4) Why for?
 * 5) People are free to interpret it however they wish. However, looking at all available canon sources and at our own rules, the only reasonable conclusion is that, on this site at this time, Six cannot survive Reach.
