Assertion:
Tony Soprano died at the end of the series finale.

Essay and/or background: The last episode of The Sopranos has sparked much debate and people have strikingly different opinions about what really happened, and whether it was a good ending or a horrible one. To set the scene, at the end, there's a very suspenseful sequence of events with Tony sitting in a restaurant and his daughter trying to park her car outside. Several people look suspicious inside. Finally, Tony looks towards the door and the screen goes black for 10 seconds and then the show's done. Do you think he lived or was killed, and why?
Cruxes...
The top point in support right now is, "There was the conversation in an earlier episode where Tony's brother in law speculated that "you don't even hear it when it happens.""

that one statement doesn't at all mean that silence implies death

It's the best way to bring closure for the show.

Other shows end with closure without killing the main character!

there was no music during the end credits. The only other time that happened was when another character was killed

but so many people have died during the show's run that clearly the there's no strict rule like that about music

A fresh support (Boost this post if you think it is a good argument, even if you don't agree with it.)

an HBO executive said all the clues you need to figure things out are there, which sounds ominous
