how did alex russo die

Alex Russo, the character played by Selena Gomez, seemingly died in the Season 2 finale of "Wizards Beyond Waverly Place" by sacrificing herself. In the finale titled "The Wizard at the End of the World," Alex sacrificed herself to close a dangerous rift that threatened to connect the world of dark magic to their own. She pushed the villain Lord Morsus through the portal and sealed it from the other side. This heroic act left her presumed dead as the portal closed behind her. However, her death is left ambiguous, and the show's executive producer David Henrie teased that Alex Russo might not be dead after all, hinting at possible future storylines where she could still be alive but trapped in another dimension. He described the season finale as a cliffhanger with much more story to come, suggesting that Alex's story might continue in future episodes or seasons. Justin Russo, her brother, also promised they would find her again someday, reinforcing the idea that her fate is not definitively sealed.
