If you drop him onto the beach, he dies in the flenser's playground. If you drop him on the other side, you can either save him from the magisters (in which case he will die by the undead in the swamp) or he will die to the magisters. I don't know if there is actually a way to keep him alive throughout the entire of act 1, would be really awesome if there was though.
