Unfortunately, the rumours of the Captain's death have been greatly exaggerated.
He's still alive, with a facebook page, his own site, and the cereal will keep being made, just as it always has been.
Most likely, his not being on the main page of the corporate website (which is what started this whole thing) was that the company wanted to draw attention away from it's most unhealthy product, and steer focus towards it's healthier options.
Similar reasons to why 'Kentucky Fried Chicken' became 'KFC'. 'Fried' is an ugly word these days.
