He died. However, some say he didn't die directly from the bullet wound or the amputation of his arm but rather he had broken his ribs when they dropped his stretcher, thus causing pneumonia. General Lee lost his best leader. This may have resulted in his loss at the Battle of Gettysburg and the decline of the Army of Northern Virginia. Gen. Jackson and his staff road out late in the day to reconniter where to deploy his troops for the next day's battle. As they were returning, they surpirsed some guards who mistook them for the enemy.
