Americans following it assume he's dead because no celebrity here would ever let that rumor float without offering proof of life. Maybe that's not how P.R. works in China? Honestly don't know.
I'm assuming he's alive and they forced him into silence simply because killing him feels way too good to be true.
This is not the first time a prominent Chinese businessman has mysteriously "disappeared". In some cases, they reappear months later, arrested by the PRC govt and put on trial.
