Wait, so basically...no one knows for sure whether he died or not? Or is it official?
I mean the time line says 'Murdered' and I'm not sure whether it's serious as in YES DEAD or a DECIDE YOURSELF dead.

Apparently Okouchi confirmed Lelouch's death in 'Continue Vol 42' but I can't find a translation of such interview. The only thing I found from that magazine was the timeline I posted above.
Double posting... but I guess its worth it.
ITS OFFICIAL, LELOUCH IS DEAD!!!

October 11, 2008 at 2:17 am | In CODE GEASS Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 |
The Code Geass spread from the November 2008 issue of Newtype caught my eye, specifically this one:
Link to scan on Moe Imouto, credits to the user. I’ll try to get my own scan up sometime soon.
The text reads:
September 28th, ‘08. The story of “Code Geass”, spanning roughly two years—Lelouch’s rebellion met its finale.
Lelouch, who plotted rebellion against his first love, friends, father, mother, and God, offered his own life to become a tyrant emperor.
The mask of Zero that Lelouch wore was succeeded by his one and only friend, Suzaku, for him to become the world’s savior.
His father yearned for the “past”, his brother insisted on “today”. However, Lelouch wished for “tomorrow”.
Believing in not the past or today, but the “tomorrow” that has yet to be seen.
Now that everything is over, has Lelouch fallen into deep slumber? In eternal rest that the ageless and immortal witch watches over.
From the present to the future. From an instant to perpetuity. Will the story be passed down?
The Resting Place of the Rebellion
Requiem
The tyrant emperor Lelouch gained F.L.E.I.J.A. and ruled the world. When the hatred and anger all over the world were focused on him, he played his final hand. It was the Zero Requiem. In a parade, just like a year ago, Zero, the masked man, appeared in front of the masses. Then he thrust a sword through Lelouch. The tyrant emperor fell and Zero became a hero again. Those who knew Lelouch and Zero’s thoughts shed tears and those who were ignorant cheered. The world is aiming for tomorrow. That was Lelouch’s final wish.
Yep, rest in peace, Lelouch-kun…

I'm somewhat confused by that. Who said that?
Good find there Ryouga. I'll still see if I can find that interview though.
You'll need something as concrete as a quote from the writer saying "Yep, Lelouch is dead" to convince us fans(since that last line wasn't actually in the scan)
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Yeah. That text reveals even less than the final episode itself. Besides, even if you found some "official" statement, it wouldn't be worth that much. If they wanted to make absolutely clear Lelouch is dead, they would have placed some old geezer or a woman to drive that cart, uncovered. But since they did what they did, it's obvious they wanted to leave a backdoor for those whose most earnest wish was to see Lelouch and C.C. live happily ever after. So, now that the story has a life of its own, any "official" statement would be only the opinion of the person giving the statement. Nothing more, nothing less.
um, i think he's dead personally, but let me just step in and say that, nowhere in that article, is there anything truly confirming that he's dead.
Let's break it down, shall we? I'm in (parenthesis!)
Lelouch’s rebellion met its finale.
(the rebellion led by Lelouch came to its end)
Lelouch, who plotted rebellion against his first love, friends, father, mother, and God, offered his own life to become a tyrant emperor.
(offered his own life to become a tyrant emperor, not to be 'remembered as a tyrant emperor', certainly not 'to die as a tyrant emperor'. Also, offering his life (to Suzaku, whose loyalty was necessary for his becoming emperor) isn't the same as dying.)
The mask of Zero that Lelouch wore was succeeded by his one and only friend, Suzaku, for him to become the world’s savior.
(Suzaku became Zero. This, as Area 11 emigration officials will tell us, does not mean much of anything, as apparently little children can become Zero also. More literally, Lelouch quit being Zero for good to let Suzaku do it.)
His father yearned for the “past”, his brother insisted on “today”. However, Lelouch wished for “tomorrow”.
(So, he wished for the future... Strange, that doesn't fall in line with accepting death at all...)
Believing in not the past or today, but the “tomorrow” that has yet to be seen.
Now that everything is over, has Lelouch fallen into deep slumber? In eternal rest that the ageless and immortal witch watches over.
(Is he dead? Is he in a coma? "rest" from what? He's with C.C.? Watched over by C.C.? -Major counter point here that, if this is taken as talking about C.C., it's talking about C.C. with her code still in tact, meaning she couldn't have given it to Lelouch, meaning sword to the chest is the death-)
From the present to the future. From an instant to perpetuity. Will the story be passed down?
The Resting Place of the Rebellion
Requiem
The tyrant emperor Lelouch gained F.L.E.I.J.A. and ruled the world. When the hatred and anger all over the world were focused on him, he played his final hand. It was the Zero Requiem. In a parade, just like a year ago, Zero, the masked man, appeared in front of the masses. Then he thrust a sword through Lelouch. The tyrant emperor fell and Zero became a hero again. Those who knew Lelouch and Zero’s thoughts shed tears and those who were ignorant cheered. The world is aiming for tomorrow. That was Lelouch’s final wish.
(He got stabbed, he fell. Nothing here about death. His final wish is also not a problem. There's no reason to say that he would die after making his final wish (or seeing it achieved).
Let's use a parallel. A 60 year old man has a heart attack. Seeing his life clearly now that it's almost been taken, he reunites with his estranged son, who is engaged to be married. He makes a wish that will be his sole focus and goal for the rest of his life (his final wish), that he will live to see his grand children and help raise them to make up for his errors. Now, of course, he doesn't just flop dead. Quite the opposite. He gets in better shape, starts exercising, quits smoking, etc etc. Even when he gets his "final wish" that the grandchildren are born and he helps raise them for a few years, he doesn't just drop dead then either. He keeps on living because that's the best way he can fulfill his final wish.
And, of course, if you think about one particular pizza-eating character who Lelouch was pretty close too and who was always focused on the past until she decided to make a future involving Lelouch her aim, then, well...
finally, some lols
The “Lelouch” who died was Sayoko, who was having a loyalty-off with Jeremiah and decided to tell him she was hardcore by 1-uping the storm of loyalty and dying for Lelouch.theory doesn’t really make sense since she was AT OUGI AND VILETTA’S WEDDING.That was Lelouch disguised as Sayoko, duh.Nunnally’s death was official for a time because for all intents and purposes, they intended on keeping her dead. However they ran into some un-foreseeable problems with the workings of R2 that basically messed the whole series up and they had to alter most of the plot, Nunnally’s death being part of that which had to be altered.the more i think about this, the more I think about THISLol wat.…Fuck Lelouch, I just want to know how the hell Orenji hid a backup Siegfried in the original Siegfried.
Didn't somebody bring this up before? Also, we need us some Lelouch is Schroedinger's Cat themed demotivational posters...

Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
Bleh, so I guess not knowing Kanji had me fall for the 'translation'.
I'll keep searching for Okuchi's interview though. But I won't mark it as official until someone who can read kanji confirms it.
What did the scan say then? The text was supposedely from the side bar btw.
It was a translated version of the scan:
Basically, the scan never said "Lelouch died".The Code Geass spread from the November 2008 issue of Newtype caught my eye, specifically this one:

Who's character song is there this time?
I liked Kallen's 'One More Chance' from Vol 4
I'm actually gonna download that one now and give it a shot. Have you heard all the character songs?Originally Posted by RyougaZell
I enjoyed C.C's songs. They felt...elegant and mysteriously creepy. Especially Reincarnation (which is my favourite mostly because of the lyrics and Yukana's sexy voice)
oh...and Rollo's. It's cute. And caused everyone to think he's gay. Nice. *le sigh*
Just Kallen's One More Chance one of Lelouch's whose title I can't remember right now.
I've actually download them all though, but until I update my ipod I don't think I'll listen to them.
I'm on episode 15 now
Well i was kind of sad for Rolo at first but now i don't give a fuck, give me my shirley back
Edit1: Post memory loss CC is even hotter than the original

I loved her too, but then after a few episodes I started getting withdrawal symptoms (like I am now) because of the lack of the dry, sarcastic, and mysterious version.
Peace.
Some interesting Info.

Huh? Is that Rakshata? The mannerisms fit, but the look not quite so much.
It's not even her skin colour.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Awww why the hell did Rolo have to die like that? Now i can't stay mad at him anymore
Well i still have my hate for the emperor and Suzaku to keep me warm at night
Double post, i'm very sorry but i simply have to say:
That ending was fucking brilliant!!!
How the hell did they manage to make me love every single character in the end after trying so hard to make me hate so many of them before?
Jesus to make Lelouch die like that... i mean i usually just can't get my head around endings where the main character dies in the "grand finale" but the way they did this was just... it was a masterpiece.
I don't regret having sped through the whole anime, it was dam worth it.
I have so many mixed feelings that i'm not even sure how to put them all in just one post, that's messed up
In short, when can we get code geass 3 with a zombie lelouch?
Lol archie, you really need to read the several pages back in this thread. Season 3 probably wont happen, at least with the same character it wont. My guess is there will be a movie or a OVA.
