Howso? If you're dead then you've "escaped", the shuffling of pixels by living people after that has no effect on you. You've gone off to wherever it is that dead people go (be it an afterlife or nowhere at all).

The filmmakers aren't going to literally bring him back to life. He's still staying dead.
