Did the weasels really die?
In the world of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, it's stated that there was no known way to kill a Toon until Judge Doom came up with the Dip. But near the end of the movie, Eddie Vallant does a song and dance routine that "knocks the weasels dead", complete with angel wings and harps. He does this because earlier in the film, Judge Doom and Smartass (yes, that's really his name) admonished the other weasels for laughing uncontrollably, saying that they could, in fact, die laughing (like their hyena cousins).
Did the weasels die laughing? Did their hyena cousins? Or are the "angel wings" just an affectation that will wear off eventually?
Note that these questions do not apply to Smartass. He was kicked into a large vat of Dip. He ain't coming back, folks.

The film's script would suggest that they did indeed die.
Roger means it. The Weasles are laughing so hard they're giving themselves heart attacks. Valiant spins around on the floor like a clock dial gone berserk.
VALIANT: Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo...
One by one, the Weasles keel over... dead. Opaque WEASLE SPIRITS leave their bodies with wings and harps, and float heavenward, still laughing.

It was an absolutely hilarious moment, but it turned out to be bittersweet \u2014 Savant (Michael Rooker) dragged Weasel onto land and then pronounced him dead.Why did the weasels die laughing?
The weasels were not actually killed by Eddie when he was getting them to laugh to death. They were just doing shtick, caught in the moment. Like Roger pointed out earlier in the film, when you do something like sing "Shave and a Haircut..." a toon cannot help themselves but finish the shtick.Is Weasel dead Suicide Squad?
Sometime after supposedly drowning during the swim, Weasel awoke, spitting water out of his lungs and then scampering off into the jungle. At least for now, Waller doesn't seem to know that the suicide squad's humanoid Weasel is still alive, which means that as far as ARGUS knows, Weasel is dead.How did Weasel survive Suicide Squad?
Instead, it looks like he just lost consciousness from the water that filled his lungs. Sometime after that, his body forced the water out on its own, enabling him to be the one Task Force X member to survive The Suicide Squad without contributing in any way at all.Zombie Storyline | Why The Weasel Was Killed Explained | Why The Weasel Died Explained
