I think I kind of like the fact that you never officially know what happened to some people. It's more realistic that way. You can imagine he made it somehow and just hasn't resurfaced for whatever reason, but more than likely he's dead and you'll never know exactly how and when it happened. That's what you would expect to be the case for most people after such an event.

There sort of is a reward for saving him. He gives you a hint about getting the Pallidor esper. If he weren't alive to say "come back with your friends," most people (not using a guide) would never go back to the island and wouldn't find the esper.
