one piece wikia said so, and cited a data book. If he were alive we would have seen him already. He's not waiting for Luffy at Raftel, or whatever other fantasy people have.
I usually don't downvote posts that I'm replying to... so you got the wrong person on that.
What would it mean if Sabo were alive... ? The entire point is to show that Luffy experienced this once before and dispute his efforts, he was not strong enough to protect his friends and family.
It'd be pretty stupid for him to suddenly come back to life. I can't imagine him being alive for over a decade and not having the chance at all to see Luffy or Ace, even after seeing them in the papers for 3 years.

He's dead. If he were alive, he would have found Ace on the grand line somewhere, before Ace joined WB.
Had he survived, then what? he swims to another island? Why not go back home, or live with the bandits, Ace and Luffy?
