Was Tony Soprano Whacked? (Sopranos finale spoiler)

Analyzing clues throughout it's final season, fans of The Sopranos are suggesting the controversial blackout at the end of The Sopranos meant that Tony Soprano was whacked. HBO says, they may be on to to something.

One clue in particular is a flashback where Tony and his brother-in-law Bobby Bacaka talk about what it's like to die. "You probably don't even hear it when it happens," Bobby says while they sit fishing in a small boat on a lake.

David Chase says that it was a "legitimate" clue and that he had a definite ending in mind. Many speculated that Chase had shot three endings.
