The little prince was a manifestation of the childhood of the pilot(the author). When he crashed and his death was inevitable, the pilot started living out the suppressed child inside him, starting with drawing sheep in the desert instead of fixing his plane.

The little planet of the little prince represents the childhood home of the pilot with the rose being his childhood sweetheart, but one day he grew up and had to leave and move on with his life. On the different planets he met various types of people that the child inside the pilot could not understand. The fox represents a good friendship and the garden full of roses the various women to have relationships with, just as pretty as his childhood sweetheart, but every single rose looks the same and has not the same charm as his childhood love. The snake is a reference to the biblical serpent in the garden of eden. Being able to live his repressed childhood in the desert again was sort of a garden of Eden of it's own for the pilot, but when he fixed his plane to return to his normal life, it was like biting into the forbidden fruit, killing the little prince and thus repressing his inner child again.

So did the Little Prince die? Not really, since he never really existed in the first place.
