True about the illusions. Than it may be possible what I said as second option, that he simply survived, but was on the brink of death that Thor didnt realized that. And it isnt exactly said that Loki "died" when he fell into space, just that he "fell". He fell into a wormhole, where he met the Other and Chitauri, thus he was never dead... in this time of his life. If Thanos ressurected him on Svartalfheim is a good theory, but I am more leaning on more that Loki either faked the death (illusion is not neccesary for this), or lost consciouss, been on the edge of life but survived. Until the Thor 3 (supposedly) we cant be certain about this at all, or someone from the staff will reveal it :)
