no ones really safe from death in the mortal kombat world we learned that in MK:DA when liu kang died and is eventually resurrected and in MK:D i think that kitana dies and will probably came back too so if kahn died he will most certainly be back for a kickass game which will probably focus on his return like mortal kombat 7 could be about him

Shao Kahn put up a good fight against the DA even while he was still weak. He would have won accept that he was overpowered in the end. Also if Kahn was at normal strength he would have killed the 2 sorcerers easily. There would be no way for them to beat Kahn.

Agreed.

He could come back to life, they could say he was never really dead, who knows? Again, I'm not saying Kahn is going to be dead forever and will never return. In fact I'm guessing he'll be back. My point is, as of now, he is dead and Ed Boon never said he was alive.

i think you have something against kahn, or you want to prove that you are right, and everybody else is wrong, well as you said, there is no prove, that he is alive, but neither that he is death, so.... i guess you are also wrong, it only says that he was defeated in DA not killed

Well actually in Reptile's konquest story in DA it says he finds the body of the emperor. There are also a few other refernces saying Kahn is dead in DA.
As for "dead and buried" I highly doubt it. Many of those who claimed to have "sources" including some of the more reliable ones have claimed we'll at least hear info that Kahn is still around one way or another in MKD. Even if those rumors are false, Kahn has an massive fanbase meaning it very likely Midway will bring him back in a future installment to please the fans.

MK is full of magic and whatnot, Shao Kahn could've made a clone of himself whose face turned out like Mileena's (also a magic made clone), thus explaining the concept art of Kahn with a "Baraka" face.

that's true, but remember all the storylines, that you see on the actuall game, doesn't happen

Here is an exact quote from MKDA...
"When Reptile finally arrived in Shao Kahn's throne room, he was devastated to find the Emperor lying dead on the floor."
I don't know how they could make it any more clear: Shao Kahn is dead.
