If I am not mistaken, Solomon's death is confirmed in anime. His wound was on his chest which is, obviously, a part which cannot be separated like in Karl's case. He could have got away if he tore part of his flesh before the blood could spread as the cut was very small. But he had to keep his cool before Saya and get past her sight without her noticing his wound. By the time he meets Amshel, his body was crystallizing. Though he tried to land a blow on his brother, he just collapsed in a kneeled position with his hand broken and dies with his brother holding his shoulders and calling him a fool.

In the manga, however, Solomon do not die. He is shot by Amshel with a special bullet but Van saves him.
