Is deidara still alive

Yes for now..... Sasuke has to kill him to get to Itachi to get revenge........ poor Deidara...... he almost won he just couldn't take it anymore and used his C4 to blow himself up....... : ( Deidara dies episode 115. Acually i believe Deidara is going to die when Sasuke kills Oruchimaru and then goes after Itachi after killing Deidara.
