New Theory Suggests Ned Stark Is Alive

Ned's death was a shocking one for fans of the series and beheading seems very, very final.
That hasn't stopped theories of Ned instead being saved by Varys by way of a faceless man.
Comicbook.com says many theorists suggest the faceless man was Jaquen H'ghar or Syrio Forel.
If Ned didn't die by decapitation because Varys swapped someone else out for Ned...
Ned most likely fled to the Free Cities or the wall, depending on which theory you choose.
