Yeah, I think he's toast too... I think the roses-on-him parts give it away. Though I think this song would have been better if they saved the "roses off of me" part until the end (and didn't say it at the beginning), because then one would have thought that it was his partner who died, when they find out at the end that really, it was him. (This worked well, of course, in the movie "Sixth Sense" and one of the better books in the Goosebumps series, #10 "The Ghost Next Door".) The only part in question is when he says send me letters from above... but perhaps above means above ground, as he has been lowered into it.
