It's a hard question to answer but I do suspect by the way he disappeared into some kind of portal opened when he holded the teserract. When you see The 2012 Avengers movie you can notice that it could be the same portal Loki used to transport himself to Earth with the help of Thanos. It could be the same thing that happened to Johann Schmidt/Red Skull in the Valkyrie at the end of Captain America The First Avenger. We know that Thanos is a Huge Emporer Warlord that can rule the universe even without the Infinity Gauntlet with the Infinity Stones. No, he is not dead. He is being held captive by Thanos in the Chitauri Space and is likely to be RESSURRECTED when Thanos gets control over the Infinity Gauntlet. I'm sure that he wasn't disintergrated because if you look closely to the scene you notice that he went through the portal and the tesseract couldn't even activate by itself. Thanos must have activated the tesseract to transport Red Skull to the Chitauri Space. This was hinted when we know that Loki activate the tesseract to transport himself to Earth. Thanos is holding him captive and it possible that Red Skull's next appearance could be in AVENGERS INFINITY WAR
