In a way, yes, I'm agreeing with him. Gatsby would have to be a living person who isn't Fitzgerald. I just don't see the idea of him writing that he died in the book. On the other hand, Fitzgerald is also using alternative names for the people involved. So while "Gatsby" was a real person, that would not be his real name.

The only other alternative would be if Fitzgerald made himself die in the book to cover up something else that happened during that event.
