The people who wrote the guide are probably assuming that she died, there is really no way to tell if she did or not unless Hideo directly tells us she died. However, I do think she is alive since the parasites feed off of the lungs of their hosts, and being that she has no functional lungs or have any use of them, the parasites will just die off, but she will still have them. I'd like to think she is alive and left DD to protect Venom but it is still sad to see her go though. Maybe we will see her in the future? Maybe, maybe not, thats up to Hideo to decide. After losing her on mission 45, I finally realized why they called it "the phantom pain"
