Is GQ dead?

As it was revealed, nobody on the web guessed Scott Eastwood’s role. Thus, the actor portrays GQ, one of Rick Flag’s trusted lieutenants.

The fight against Incubus shows that GQ isn’t actually insignificant, since he delivers (in a way) the final blow to bring the supernatural villain down. Thus, as Diablo tries his best against Incubus, GQ sets the bomb under the baddie and blows it, thus ending the threat.

So, is GQ dead? The movie lets us believe that, since the character had no time to flee the area. However, at the same time, his heroic death isn’t mentioned by any character afterwards. Not even Rick Flag acknowledges his death, even though GQ was behind him the entire movie, and even though the Squad survived to fight Enchantress because of him.

So is he alive or is he dead? Will we find out in a Suicide Squad sequel? Or will we be treated to another Ultimate Cut?
