Given his resistance to Xander's sword, some fans speculate that Doc probably survived.

The Rabbi Report: DVD Review-Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 6 (1004 words)
Buffy and Spike's relationship, the death of Tara, Willow's transformation into an evil, magic-addicted murderess, Giles' return to England, the journey of the Nerds from comic relief to killers and the end of Xander and Anya's relationship pack an absurd level of pivotal character development into this 22 episode season.
Season six is more sexually charged than any that went before, which of course makes sense given the fact that the characters were all in their 20's (except, of course, for Dawn who is 15 and Spike who is well over 150).
Rounding out the extras is the excellent featurette doc, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Television With a Bite" that originally aired on A&E and sums up the series through season 6.
