Fiyero does not die. Fiyero becomes the Scarecrow, and he and Elphaba are reunited by the end of the musical.
No he is not. Fiyero was a character created in the book "Wicked". And in the stage production of "Wicked" Fiyero becomes the Scarecrow.
Okay... So lets start from act 2. Fiyero is now a gaurd for Oz and has just helped Elphaba escape, to protect her because he loves her and not glinda. The other gaurds that were trying to kill her take Fiyero to a field and "demand to tell them where the witch went". Knowing that Fiyero will die Elphaba casts a spell in "no good deed" hoping to save him. She thinks that the spell did not work, but at the end of the musical, we see Fiyero survived and has become the scarecrow.
The following actors played Fiyero in performances of 'Wicked' in the United States of America in 2009:1. On Broadway, Aaron Tveit took over the role of Fiyero from Kevin Kern on January 20. Kevin Kern reprised the role on March 10.2. In Los Angeles, Derrick Williams was Fiyero.3. In San Francisco, Nicolas Dromard was Fiyero.4. In the second national tour, Colin Donnell was Fiyero.
Answer #1 Fiyero becomes the Scarecrow due to Elphaba's protective spell. Answer #2 Fiyero is the Munchkin Prince who falls in love with Elphaba Thropp, the Wicked Witch of the West. Elphaba is passionate about animal rights and welfare in the land of Oz. That gets her in trouble with the Wizard of Oz. Fiyero becomes Elphaba's defender in this and other matters. The Wizard's guards manage to ambush Fiyero. Elphaba turns Fiyero into the Scarecrow before the guards can torture him to death.
In the musical, she didn't avoid Fiyero much. In the book, she tried to avoid Fiyero simply because she was dangerous to be around and didn't want anyone in danger, as well as the fact that Elphaba Thropp had been MIA for some time and wanted to keep it that way.

Well, actually, I think you are a little mixed up. A better way of phrasing that question would be this: In the book Wickedby Gregory Maguire, did Elphaba kill Fiyero? Elphaba didn't kill Fiyero, but he did die because of her. It's a fine line. Elphaba is on a mission. Fiyero finds out about the mission and she beggs him not to. Fiyero is killed in the cross fire.While Elphaba didn't kill Fiyero she blamed herself for his death until the day that she died.

The play takes certain liberties with the source material. The book 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West' is more closely paired with the movie 'The Wizard of Oz' than the musical is. In the musical 'Wicked' Fiyero becomes the Scarecrow when Elphaba cast a spell for him to never die. In the book, Fiyero does not become the Scarecrow. I the movie, the Scarecrow has no connection to the witch prior to his travels with Dorothy.
No. The Scarecrow is only a scarecrow. In the book Wicked, Elphaba believes her lover Fiyero has disguised himself as a scarecrow until she sees him empty the straw from his clothing. In the play Wicked, however, Fiyero does become the Scarecrow, but this is the only version where he is anything other than a stuffed old suit.
