As we have seen in the manga Madara was left laying on the ground, he was going to be attacked by sasuke but the sage of six paths prevented him from attacking him, and the reason was the following: The sage of the six paths said "Madara was a jinchuriki so he will die as the tailed beast (ten tails) was removed from him."

Madara uchiha is absolutley alive, As in the anime episode 391 when Obito was laying on the ground Yamato asked Kurama about if Obito will die, Kurama replied that there is something special about a ten tails jinchuriki which is: "When the ten tails is out of the jinchuriki's body he wont die he will only be weak for a period of time" He said that this also happened with the sage of the six paths when he spilt the ten tails chakra to the nine tailed beasts.

It's my theory please share me your opinions.
