At this point, it could go either way. In the original story she died for real. In one of the later adaptations, she survived and assumed a new identity and was never seen again.
Right now the anime could go either direction until shown otherwise.

Given how sympathetic the show has been to her, yeah I think that's likely. But I would prefer if they keep it ambiguous. Hint that it might be true without tipping their hand too much.
