Hm, I personally don't think he's dead. I think it was just a big misdirect as we didn't see the actor on the Talking Dead after or in the memorial thing. Maybe they'll keep him alive just so Negan can kill him like in the comics and rub in the salt, haha. But even if it wasn't him being ripped apart, how the hell is he supposed to survive the rest of the horde? I think they'd have to come up with some really good writing to explain that.
