Well, Sandy McSouthers dies, but he actually doesn't. Sandy McSouthers is actually Mr. Westing, Barney Northrup, and a few other characters. Once this is figured out, Sandy McSouthers actually does die in the arms of Turtle. Plus, Crow and Otis Amber die sometime after the game ends.
There isn't a definitive answer as the twist in "The Westing Game" leaves the ending open to interpretation. It is implied that Sandy McSouthers may be Samuel Westing in disguise, and that he orchestrated his own death as part of the elaborate game, rather than actually dying.
