If you ask me Gaster isn’t dead, he’s just....broken. If you look at his presumed avatar, it lookes like he’s kind of melted, similar to Undyne the Undying when she became too determined, or the Amalgamates after being injected with determination. I personally think that Gaster was experimenting with Determination, and due to that experiment failing fell into his creation (either the Core or DT Extractor in the True Lab), and then was shattered across time and space, yet still alive because of the determination. I don’t have much proof to back me up but worth exploring I think.
