Who dies in The Giver?

*WARNING: MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS*

At the end of the book it does not clearly state if Gabriel and Jonas die. However, it depends on the point of view of the reader. He could have died, or could have made it to Elsewhere. However, in the third book of the trilogy, the book mentions a Leader who came to his Village in a red sled. He had blue eyes, and was a young adult. It mentions a mischievous 8-year-old named Gabe briefly, so it can be assumed that Jonas survived at the end of The Giver.

Jonas could have died at the end or he could not have. It says that he saw some lights so that means he could see heavens lights or he could have seen the town lights he also heard singing so that could be angels or that could be the town people. He also saw the people so that means he could of seen the angels or the town people. So in reality it's up to your imagination.. so go crazy! Lol :D
