I think he lives because:
1.Ghost is the only person that calls Cpt. Mactavish "soap".
2.If you hack cod4 you see that he gets shot in the elbow.
3.Plus, when your get put on the bed, he smiles, puts on a helmet, and crawls to cover.
4.In a interview, the actor that plays Gaz says in mw2 that he wants to improve his character, which means hes still alive.
5. They call Gaz Ghost because he comes back from the "dead".
6. They only put a helmet on Ghost because thay don't want you find out that he really is Gaz.
7.All you people saying that Infinity Ward confirmed his death, how did you get contact wth them.
Kobe-like
In the beginning of cod4 during the "training" session, price mentions that
Gaz held the squad record with 19 seconds. This shows us that this guy was always fast in these kind of courses. So when we jump to the training mission visversa session, if you stay back in the pit, you can hear corporal Dunn talking to the other units, saying " Yeah man, I saw this guy with a ski mask that had a skull painted on it," (description of ghost) "18.28!"(the time) again, fast in the course. And now most of you are saying that all this doesnt matter because ghost got killed in "Loose Ends", but I have yet another theory. In beginning of loose ends the very first thing you hear is toad and archer (the snipers) say "Snipers in position." and then later you hear them say "Hold on, I'm displacing. You're gonna be without sniper support for 30 seconds." infity ward doesn't want you to forget about toad and archer. Why? Because by the time TF141 reaches the LZ, snipers are still active. Since ghost was shot on the RIGHT side of the chest and little gas was poured on him, he COULD have survived. So then the sniper team crawled up to ghost and roach, (having the fire and smoke catch there attention) saw that ghost was still alive, and called the TF141 for help and the team back to base, stitch up ghost or gaz or whoever the hell this dude is that wears a ski mask with a skull painted on it. nuff sed. PEACE
Answer 2
No, they just have the same voice actor (Craig Fairbass). It is possible that they could be somehow related.

Actually its no cause Gaz death was confirmed and Ghost jaw is different than Gaz's. They confirmed he died but they never said they brought him back.
More than likely, it was Gaz. He was basically shot in the face at the end of MW2, which would explain why he wears that mask. Also, they have to same voice actor. Yes this is very likely. In mw2 Ghost died however infinity ward stated that he sort of wasn't. Perhaps he will come in as a younger person, or the same voice actor will do another character.
No, he doesn't. If you look really closely in 'Game Over' (in COD 4), at the end of the level, Gaz is the first person Zakhaev shoots.
Nope, he doesnt die at all I personally saw a frag explode next to him, what he did after the blew up? was just stand up and run yes he does at the end the bad guys shot him in the head Gaz, Captain Price, And Griggs Die In the end of the game. Although there is no comfirmation to this... you can tell because Zachaev Shot Him Right In The Head. Griggs Got Shot In the throat/chest when he was pulling Soap. And When You Were Getting Lifted on To the carrying thing you could see them doing First Aid And It Looks Like He was dead. Now that's where your wrong, sure Gaz gets shot but,he didn't get shot in the head it was his neck and Price didn't die.Sadly Griggs did die in monder warfare 2 Gaz is Ghost and price was a prisner for Makorv but sure enough they save him. So that pretty much all you need to know
Ghost and Dark.
no because in "gameover" zakeav shoots him in the face with a silver plated desert eagle
