I am certain he did. Remember Ambshel was with him while he died. Right after Solomon dies, we see Diva and Nathan having a conversation about it and Nathan says: "so it's just me and Ambshel left." Where would he get this information from? most likely Ambshel told him after confirming Solomon's death.

Even though we don't see him crystalize fully, we see his face partially crystalized before the scene is skipped. How on earth would he survive that? There are no known antidote or other method to alter the poisonois effect of Saya's blood, if there was, don't you think Ambshel would've used it to save himself. He was the only one who could possible save Solomon in the given situation.

Also Solomon says, moments before his death; "a little longer...just a little." Either he knew he was finished, or simply accepted death. And why didn't he cut off his shoulden once it had been affected be Saya's blood? this would be the only other way he could've saved himself. Well, first of all, Solomon was mortally wounded even before he got cut be Saya's sword. Remember how he lost almost all of his blood after fighting Diva. If he cut off his shoulder after that, he would most likely die from blood loss. Being a doctor, he probably knew this. Another, less likely possibility is that he might've been able to save himself in some way, but simply chose not to. He was very depressed after being rejected be Saya, even wondering how he should go on living. Personally i cannot think of any way he could've saved himself, given how close he is to death the last time he's seen.
