A & E have come out and said that this was the hinted at death, and MJR has also commented about the death as well.

Now, If I had to guess, MJR may or may not have a couple of scenes to go this season (I think they may have been a few times where Rump/Bae swapped places, and I suspect that maybe Neal had a hand in sending Hook for Emma), but it would only be in flashback. And then, I would find it highly unlikely that he will be in any episodes after this season.

Which is too bad. Throwing out all the Swanfire and CS and other shipping that was going on, I think MJR has some real acting chops, and could have done wonders with Neal given a better opportunity.
