SPOILERS!
The recently aired double-episode return of Alias (episodes #10, S.O.S., and #11, Maternal Instinct) confirmed what observant fans had suspected: Vaughn was indeed alive, albeit, still in a somewhat bad way and still gradually recovering from his extremely serious injuries.

With that, CAMERA ADJUSTS and the Man turns to face us.
REVEAL MICHAEL VAUGHN. And this is important to sell: he is in Godawful shape from taking nine rounds, but he is very much alive. As he registers the news... a SMILE spreads across his face. And off this jaw-dropping reveal and what it means for the last eight episodes of our series, we...
SMASH TO BLACK.
