Given the show type, it is pretty rare for a character like Slade to just catagorically die. Maybe prison, knocked out, offscreen possible death with a reference to no body was found or finally reaching him enough that he comes to terms with the loss. It is just such a fun caracter to lose, so I doubt it will happen.
