Did Player 456 die in The Squid Game season 3?

In Squid Game season 3, the final game, once again the titular Squid Game is played atop three towering platforms. Within 15 minutes, each player must eliminate at least one competitor by knocking them off the tower. Among the eight remaining players are Gi-hun, Myung-gi, and Myung-gi¡¯s newborn baby, now shockingly designated as Player 222. Myung-gi allies with five others, agreeing to target Gi-hun, the baby, and Min-su (played by Lee David). Though pressured to abandon the child, Gi-hun chooses to protect her. The five allied players die during the second phase of the three-part game.

In a chilling twist, Myung-gi attempts to win by forcing Gi-hun to hand over the baby and sacrifice his spot. His plan fails, and he plunges to his death. In the heart-wrenching climax, Gi-hun makes a gut-wrenching decision; he sacrifices himself to save the baby. So yes, Player 456 dies in Squid Game season 3.
