Did Sasori die

He and Deidara had captured Gaara and Akatsuki had extracted Shukaku from him, hours later Sakura and Chiyo (His grandmother) arrived and began to fight him. Sakura was being controlled by chakra strings so Chiyo was using her like a puppet. After long hours of fighting Chiyo finally strikes Sasori on his heart using the first human puppets Sasori himself had created. (His parents.) Apparently he let his grandmother kill him. He then says some stuff about Orochimaru and dies.
