I think he died. If you want to know what happened to his body after post-getting crashed with water or an iceberg or any other shit, here are my thoughts: Chairman starts a mission to find and recover Maine's armor but it was set up and the real goal was to steal the helmet before it was transported to the UNSC, and later guys from UNSC are told that there was nothing of Meta to find except of parts of his armor.
