Did Takaki kill himself at the end?

I doubt so, Takaki was depressed but he accepted his position. That's it. While the open ending leaves you to make your own ideas, I think Takaki killing himself is a bleak possibility, given what we have seen over the three episodes. To put it straight, if he can be this resilient after years of being away, I doubt seeing her would make him go over the edge. The ending bit about snow and watching the cherry blossoms together makes me think there's more to it than him killing himself.

His first (and probably only true, since he seemed to think about nothing except for her) love was unrequited, his girlfriend broke up with him, he quit his job, his room was full of beer cans and trash...
No matter how you look at it, this is the final stage of someone ready to commit suicide. It was almost as if the smile in the last scene signified he lost absolutely everything, and now, without any attachment to this world, he decided to kill himself...

This can't be true, can it? I'm like seriously depressed right now. Please link me some interview where is stated he ended up happy... How could Akari find a new love, have a happy life while Takaki ended up... like this??

At the end he just realizes that he finally fulfilled his promsie with her. To see the cherry blossoms together once again. She may not have noticed, but they were together under them once more before that train passed between them.
