I've thought from the very beginning that MD was the perfect way of getting rid of Jack: turn him mortal and then kill him before whatever happened reverses itself. We've all known that RTD didn't want Jack in Torchwood at all, and was practically forced to have him in it in order to make his show about the female copper who chases aliens. So yes, I think Jack is well and truly dead.
There was a rumor saying that Gwen would have to make a terrible decision, and I think that decision is to kill Jack for the reversal of the miracle. I've been thinking since Jane Espenson made the comment that burning someone to ash would really kill them, that this is how Jack was going to go...and that Gwen would push the button. And now we have the gigantic alien vagina showing up, I've changed my mind, and that Jack is sacrificed to it.
However...
I also think that there will be a bit of ambiguity about how he dies. Starz has said they may do another series if a good idea comes up involving Jack...not Gwen, Jack. So yeah, I think he dies but they leave an out.
