No, I have to check the tape, any significance to it?

Possible or it was simply the unintended side affect of the crystal being
destroyed in the console. This is why I don't count Lara or Kor-El to be
definitely dead. Most likely they are, because they are genetic
reconstructions, clones that their DNA where stored in the Crystal.
Destroy the Crystal, destroy Lara and Kor-El replicants. Kara on the
other hand didn't come from the Crystal so lived, but without memory and
powers. However, since this is not a certainty (other than Kara living)
it is possible the writers could use this as a way to bring back Kor-El
and/or Lara in the future.

Possibly not, but that is unlikely. There could had been a large well
attended funeral which Chloe, Lois Lionel went to, or alternatively, to
avoid possible questions being asked by the police and therefore exposing
Grant Gabriel non-existing past covered it up and said he departed for
parts unknown. But this is unlikely since Lionel mentioned to Lana
Grant's death, so I believe there was a large funeral for Grant off
screen.

I believe it is not true death but some kind of deep stasis her body goes
into. In real life there are both natural responses and chemically
induced ways to make a person appear stone cold dead but really isn't.
However, even in those cases you would have a steady heart beat.

Maybe 90% of the time or more, but no it is not instant death. There have
been plenty of cases of which people where shot in the head with the
bullet penetrating the brain and living, sometimes leading perfectly
normal lives. The same with the snapping of necks. It can kill, or it can
paralyze or, they can recover fully.
