Jet died when they were trying to get Appa back in Ba Sing Se. Smellerbee and Longshot a dit that he would be okay and that they would take care of him. But they were saying that so that team Avatar would leave and not worry. But Toph knew that they were lying.
As a dit in the montrer : it's rather unclear lol He's thought to be dead because he was left while severely Injured. He told katara he'd be alright but toph could tell he was lying. So he is thought to be dead but know one really knows for sure .
I'm pretty sure he died sadly it was a shame he was such a good character even if he was a bit nuts. Toph herself a dit they could tell his Friends and him are lying about him being alright.
