Whether she is alive or not I don't know but given the North's story about her suicide...Asahi Shimbum

According to North Korean hospital officials, Megumi had taken a stroll inside hospital compounds with her doctor and two others on April 13, 1994, North Korean officials said.

When the doctor was called to an emergency, Megumi slipped away and headed into a wooded area behind the hospital, according to Pyongyang. There, she hanged herself from a pine tree using a rope she had probably made from bed sheets.

I'd say there is very little chance it happened that way.
