It was the writers who probably decided it was best to erase his heroic death and perfect character arc for him to come back in season 2 and have likely no purpose at all in the story, besides from blatant fanservice, to which he will eventually die a gruesome death, undeserving of his character.
You asked for this, folks.
Having Kenny return in season 2 wouldn't be fanservice, as his "death" still remains ambiguous. Having Kenny return as an avenging archangel who slaughters zombies by the thousands WOULD be fanservice. There's a difference.
That being said, the quotes DomeWing listed above definitely don't look good. I'd understand if Telltale simply decided to leave Kenny's fate unresolved - Kirkman's already pulled the same stunt on the comic book with several characters - but this is probably the one time where I'm praying they make an exception. Living, dead, undead...I'd accept the consequences, so long as I get an answer. Because let's be honest here, "What happened to Kenny?" will be one of the top five questions the majority of WD players will be asking when they begin season 2. To leave the question unanswered with a shrug of the shoulders and a "that's life" might be realistic, but it might not be financially sound.
In Ben's scene, Kenny was swarmed, no way out. No door, or manhole (which is less likely, because manholes have to be pried with a tool or opened from underneath, and Vernon's group probably tended to close the manholes after themselves. That's the only explanation as to why they never found any open manholes.
Christa's scene, there were a fair amount of zombies, probably the same amount as Lee fought (as in, had the option to kill) on the way to the Marsh house, but it was pitch black, and Kenny ran out of bullets. As we all know, he's piss poor at hand to hand fighting, and just 2 to 3 minutes ago, he was drinking.
In short, I think he's dead as every walker you come across.
EDIT: Also, nice little tidbit there, Dome.
Didn't kenny said that he fights better when he's shitfaced?
Hey! I don't need glasses. I have good eye sight, my opp-ti opp-tet *struggling to spell* *sighs, stupid spellings* eye specialist said so, I'm only slightly short sighted.

Optician.
i'm only slightly short-sighted as well, and i saw a Blackish thing there. i thought it was a game glitch.
I see it. It helps if you tilt the screen down/up a little. Still, it might not be too wise to get your hopes up about pitch-black holes in the wall...

Optician, thank you, thank also to auto correct you really helped me out a f*cking lot! Stupid auto correct. I can't spell, some people ask if I have dyslexia.
Door to another room ≠ exit. If the "doors" lead outside, there would be light sources so they wouldn't be pitch-black. I mean it's certainly possible that they lead outside but like everything else with Kenny's death, it's ambiguous at best.
Remember, I'm the original finder. At least on the forums.
Glad you found it, +1 for Team Kenny! I couldn't see it, but I bet if I turned the brightness on PC I could see it... Anyways good find and its funny to see how much this has exploded... Keep this thread alive and keep the conversation going people!
The next thing you could possibly do is maybe highlight some of the windows you saw in the alleyway for further proof...
The one thing I wonder is this: I made an alternate walkthrough where I gave Kenny an extra bullet during the alleyway scene... Which makes Christa ask "I heard shots" and the dialogue changes to "Kenny took Ben out, then himself"... I wonder how this will effect season 2...
But that is just Lee guessing that he did that, he did not see it happen, I believe you can give up to five bullets to Kenny, which would make it six, pretty good I guess.
GODDAMMIT IT, I always wondered what he says, I had bullets and wanted to give them to him but it felt better to say that I will not leave you behind, I hope that does not make him dead.
for some reason, schrodinger and Utility stache are in the tags.
There are some pretty interesting tags here on some threads really, like F*** Kenny, Shel, Clementine As an Adult or Larry's charm overload (fun pics) threads for example.

That means that you killed Kenny. He couldn't escape from the room and died. I hope you're proud of yourself.
KENNY CONFIRMED FOR SEASON 2
