<p>I think Igneel didn't die.</p>

<p>When I read the manga almost at the point when The End power tries to devour natsu, it was Igneel who help Natsu to make it out alive. Though, it might be the projection of Igneel.</p>

[Igneel](http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Igneel) is dead. If you read the status, then you will see "deceased" written.

> Natsu thought that Igneel was dead, but actually, he was inside Natsu.

In Tartaros Arc,

> Igneel comes out from Natsu's body and fights with Acnologia and then supposedly dies. But if he was dead, he could not talk to Natsu, and this did not happen. Also, Igneel said the dragons were inside the body of the dragon slayer, summing up that Igneel is dormant inside Natsu's body again.
