Eh maybe. It was at first, maybe that is why you feel that way. Gammin said when it was first recorded it was clear Kenny died, but did a retake to make the 'death scene' more subtle.
Kenny didn't want to die, he wanted to make it. He wanted to believe in hope. He wanted to help Ben because of pity, that he felt bad for being a jerk to him. Probably also saw it as a Shawn position. He was going to die, but Kenny didn't want to leave another helpless victim.
I know that I were to think as Kenny, he knew that if there was ANY way he could make it out, it wouldn't be with Lee there too.
Kenny didn't wish to give up, as you said with the talk about Katjaa. That you don't give up until the very end. He also spoke of being a better friend, so he wanted to redeem himself. I don't think he'd die before truly accomplishing that.
If you talk between him and Lee, I forget what you have to choose, but he will say how either way, it's okay. Either he saves the boy/he survives, or he gets to see his family again. However, when the walkers close in, he seems to have a change of heart and makes a run for it, ending Ben quickly. I don't know why, but I think he had his reasons.
He wasn't sacrificing himself, there was no reason to. And it wasn't a suicide, because he spoke about how it is never the answer. I think it is a special conversation(as in you have to choose just the right responses). I can understand your thoughts though, and he could be dead. I am a huge TWD fan though, and if there is one thig I know, if you don't see the body, they aren't dead. They will clarify with time. I can hope he is alive, and it seems you are a fan of him as well. I think the chances he survived the death scene are higher than him dying, even if Telltale only gives him a brief re-intro before snatching him again to truly kill him. I can think this because Telltale is low on veteran/returning characters. You have Clem, Omid, Christa, Molly(possible), Kenny(possible), Lilly(now possible). I think that's it unless Lilly used Carley's pistol to kill Carley/Doug xD (reference to episode 2 with Andy). Just gotta hope!
