He might be dead as well.

I don't know why people keep saying this. It's possible but there's no reason to think that.

Not communicating is completely consistent with Satoshi's behavior - he was very protective of his identity, so he would have to stop communicating eventually if he wanted it to remain secret.

I strongly believe we'll never see another message signed by him (either a transaction with his early mined coins, or a pgp signed message). But that's most likely because he doesn't want to, not because he's dead. I'd say odds that he's stayed alive since 2011 are the same as anyone else his age. Let's say he's 50. Based on life expectancy stats, his odds of dying in the last 3 years is about 2%.

He said this, because Satoshi might be dead and there are a lot of reasons to think that.

I have one reason to think he isn't http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/xn/detail/2003008:Comment:52186

This was clearly the result of someone hacking his email account at gmx. He probably stopped logging into the account around the time that he left the forum which would generally make it easier for a potential attacker to reset his password.
