You just offered a good example of head canon.

You've extrapolated future events based on your PERCEPTIONS of the previous episodes.

Nothing at all has come out since Season 2 ended to suggest Boyd is going to die or be written out. People have simply assumed it to be true.

As far as we know, everything froze the moment the last episode ended - everything is still exactly as it was in the Teen Wolf Universe. Nothing has happened yet and won't until the show returns.

Folks are just guessing.

Also -

There is a real world explanation for Boyd's lack of screen time in Season 2.

There were problems with Sinqua's schedule. The writers and producers weren't sure when he would be available and therefore couldn't base episodes around him cause they didn't know when he would be able to shoot.

There are even times when Boyd is on screen - but that isn't Sinqua because he wasn't available.
