No matter how edgey it is, it's still a kid show and this Splinter has been more active and involved than previous versions. I doubt they would have killed him off for real.
Remember these turtles are still young and inexperienced. They're not in their late 30s like in mirage when splinter died. They would need a new sensei to continue to train then or shredder will kill them. I don't want them to pull some bs where Leo was secretly a super ninja master all along and had a handful of secret splinter techniques he never showed anyone to suddenly become the new sensei. I mean they never even fought as a team until the first episode. If splinter dies now the show better be ready to introduce a new sensei or at least power shredder down.
