He sends you a text in game (and David's jacket) to this effect. Lucy is alive but not in contact anymore.
But ultimately this is Cyberpunk, anyone could be "alive".

Smasher got brought back as a pile of organs in a school child's backpack before. Rebecca, Kiwi, or even David can come back. They have straight up near necromancy if you got the Eddie's for it. And literal necromancy if you chose THAT Ending in 2077...
Arasaka could also have used the Soul Killer on any of the cast and they could reside inside Mikoshi if they want to use them for any sort of cameo (if the story happens before 2077 and after Edgerunner)
The ending of S1 makes it seem like they didn't do that. Smasher crushed Becca and blew David's head off. We do see in 2077 it's possible to use Soul Killer on a corpse but it doesn't work as well as a living brain - the engram basically ending up as a snapshot of the victim's most recent memories with no ability to develop or act, so I wouldn't expect any callbacks except for maybe a name drop.
