This is a really fun idea, but I don't think it's true.  In response to an 
interview question, "Will we be hearing anything from Sirius Black's brother, 
Regulus, in future books?" JKR answered, "Well, he's dead, so he's pretty quiet 
these days."  She could have answered the question without saying outright 
that he was dead (i.e., "You'll hear more about him in Book So-and-So," or just 
simply one of her enigmatic, "Maybe"s), so I take the fact that she did to mean 
that he is truly dead.  Here's the link:
