Clearly Sir Alonne was killed in this memory seeing as how when one defeats him one gains his soul and his body disintegrates into dust, not forgetting the fact that it's stated that Alonne left the Old Iron King's Kingdom suddenly which can be explained by him being killed and no one knowing what happened to him, seeing as how after he's left the Old Iron King we hear nothing more of him. And I'm pretty sure that after something loses its soul then that means it's been killed. It'd be like killing someone and then ripping their heart out, there's not really a great chance that someone could've come back from that and even if Alonne didn't die: the player has taken his soul which is incredibly vital to maintaining a being's power in the DS universe. So it would be unlikely that Alonne would've been able to survive without his soul.

And with the honouring a traitor thing: the King could've deemed Alonne a traitor privately and thus gone to confront him, resulting in Alonne's death. But seeing as how Alonne was this revered warrior then it would make sense to honour him after his disappearance so as to not arouse suspicion and to keep people on the King's side, as if people found out that the King killed Alonne then the King would lose support and popularity incredibly quickly. It would be fairly suspicious if the Old Iron King proclaimed Alonne a traitor and then suddenly Alonne goes missing with no explanation. So the 'King-killed-Alonne' theory isn't that far-fetched when one takes a second to actually think about it.
