Like what I did before, I will not buy some character(especially Main Characters) dying until the next chapter proves it or there is an official word from the author. Hell, many if not all thought that Erza's gonna die from Kagura's attack but it turns out on the next chapter Erza was able to dodge it. I also did not buy it that Future Lucy will die at first but as I read the next chapter, she really did die. On both cases, I accepted what happened of course. I will also accept it if Gray's gonna die but for me it will be a huge "collateral damage" for the story or for Mashima but its just my opinion. But what I'm trying to say is that everybody's already concluding something and for me what should we do is to wait for the next chapter for the confirmation cause things in this arc could turn either way around. For me it's alright to predict but not conclude.

Anyways, I share the opinion of somebody here that what happened to Gray might just be an illustration of what Lucy is reading on Future Lucy's Journal. Finally chances of Gray being alive for me is 50-50.

Thanks and Peace!! :)
