Because the stupid guy (General Shepard) killed him along with you (Roach) because he
thought that you are an undercover agent or whatever.. :(
*improvement* it was Shepard that was the double agent, you (Roach, Ghost) are thinking your in TF141. he kills you 2 to get the info on Makarov on the multiplayer mission *idk the SP name* "Estate"

Ghost gets shot Point Blanc by a .44 Magnum round. Even if he was wearing Kevlar(bulletproof vest, and Kevlar CAN STOP a 44 mag round up to 20m) he wouldnt survive. BUT even if he did, he was then burned to death and left to die. There is a SLIGHT chance of Ghost being alive, because in COD4 MW, it looked as if Cpt.Price was dead but later in the MW2 campaign he ended up to be alive. So, there is a small chance that Ghost could come back in the MW3 campaign... but its highly unliquely.
he doesn't
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.
There is no rhino emblem. Unless you are talking about the Ghost emblem, in that case it would be reaching 10th Prestige.
