Is This the End of Daryl Dixon?

We have heard the calls, “If Daryl dies, we riot” but I don’t think we really thought that he could, but perhaps the end maybe nigh?
I say, hell no, the dude is a freakin’ badass and nothing can stop him, not even a horde of brain-munching zombies or even a slew of cannibals.
Or at least, here is hoping, but this latest official photo courtesy of Entertainment Weekly, certainly puts Dixon in a deathly position.

The Walking Dead returns to AMC this October for its fifth season.
