Eeth Koth in Star Wars was supposedly killed in the Battle of Geonosis, until he came back in the Clone Wars episode Grievous Intrigue. Eeth Koth's death was apparently only in a guidebook, as he wasn't seen dying on screen in Attack of the Clones. Cheetah was supposed to die in an episode of the Justice League animated series, but a lucky animation error showed her in police custody, saving her. I think it is better to rely on in-universe than creator's word. That Star Wars character was also confirmed to be deceased by people whose actual, salaried job is to keep track of stuff like that until Dave Filoni got permission from Lucas to resurrect him a decade later. He was dead, then he wasn't.

To say that Odin would follow a similar path is nothing more than an assumption.
