I was about to say the same thing. Based on that photo in post #2, he doesn't appear to be alive.
However, I was able to find another photo of him, and while he doesn't appear to be "alive & well", I think he does appear to be somewhat alive. See what you think...
(He must really frighten the youngsters, whenever they are unfortunate enough to get a good up close look at him...)
