Richard Rider is still alive. There are evidence such as Sam Alexander because if rider was dead then Sam would not become Nova, Thanos and Starlord returned in the Avengers Assemble series and in Nova #1, in the letter to the editor page, a fan asked Brian Michael Bendis why Starlord and Thanos survived and escaped the Cancerverse without Richard Rider, He simply replies "You want to know why Richard Rider isn't back. Who said he wasn't?"
