The Death of Soulblighter

There's been discussion here about whether Myrdred is really dead; did he possess Phelot and sneak away in him? Was his "death" really just an illusion? Etc.

But what about Soulblighter? I first thought about this subject when I was playing "The Forge" shortly after reading something about Soulblighter's heart (which he has hidden away in his temple). It occurred to me that since Soulblighter isn't supposed to be able to die without someone destroying his heart, could he still be alive, even though his body was destroyed in Tharsis?

The next thought occurred to me when I was replaying my favorite sequence of levels in the game, "Limbs, Head, And Smoking Craters" through "Twice Born". Immediately after playing "Shiver", seeing Myrdred get killed and wondering if he had really died, the journel for "Twice Born" started. Then one passage in there caught my attention.

"With The Deceiver in posession of a part of his being, Soulblighter no longer has the ability to escape."

But The Deceiver just died! So what happened to the crow? Was it destroyed with him? If so, what effect would it have on Damas? Or did it survive Myrdred's death? After all, these are no ordinary crows.

Consider this. The last cutscene, after "The Forge", shows Soulblighter burning in the lava of Tharsis, are crow-shaped blue spirits escaping from his body. But what if he's not dead? His heart is still alive; if that crow of his is now free, could he have realized his ability to escape just as he (or his body at least) was dying, and then fled away as those crow-spirits? Could Soulblighter still be alive?
