It could be possible. They should still have Alec's body.
1. Cerberus could pop in later on, and clone him. lol
2. Benefactor could be implicated in his cloning. You never know.
3. Remnants can create life and play with genetics. This could be more interesting than Cerberus or Benefactor.
The thing is, Alec would have to play a secondary role since main protagonist is one of his kids.
Maybe Alec's purpose was to see one of his kids take over his role so he could focus on other stuff. However, it didn't seem his death was an intended accident.
Or, they killed him off because the voice actor was too expensive. 🤔

We may or may not have Alec's body somewhere. Whether Alec's body is around, or just listed as stored, cremated, etc. makes a lot of difference. The fact that we don't see Alec after we pass out on Habitat 7, along with Alec's general paranoid over-prepared Alecness, has helped fuel the speculation that he isn't dead, and was just gaming everyone. Of course, if he IS still alive he will probably of his own "faction" rather than Tempest crew, etc.🤓
The whole thing makes me think of Liam Neeson's Col. Hannibal Smith escaping from prison. "So Satan walks into a bar..."👿😉

Although I would agree that it's an unlikely scenario, I will not underestimate BioWare's obscene obsession with raising people back from the dead as a story gimmick.
Ryder already died a couple of times and came back right?
If you've played SWTOR you'll know what I mean when I mention Revan, Valkorion and Kephess. Their multiple ressurrections have become running gags and to me it's just a testament to BioWare's inability to continue good story writing.
Personally I feel that BioWare is just repeating tricks that were once successful and are not looking too well at the law of diminishing returns. The truth probably is that BioWare was never really good at writing stories but rather at making compelling characters and interactions. DA:I fell flat for me because the companions were not compelling to me. ME:A is better for me because I actually do like a few of the companions and crew.
Anyways. I don't expect Alec to come back because I would not want him to come back as it would cheapen the story. In essence, even though she never truly died, Ellen already got the ressurrection treatment and for Alec to also get it would just be blah. Having said that, I don't put it past BioWare. It's something they could very well do, just because that's what's their story telling has been reduced to. I mean, as much as I have enjoyed playing ME:A, I suspect few people will actually say that the main story was really amazing and inspiring.

Honestly, I liked DAI's story and companions for the most part, and was ok with Revan's KOTOR resurrection. Just to provide an alternative view. And if they decide that Alec isn't dead I think they provided enough of a platform for it that it would be believable. If you think there is more to add put it here OR here

LOOOL ...."and the bartender asks him: -What's the name of my bar?"
But yes, he could be still alive, staying in the shadow and working on finding a cure, and who knows what else. In a way, not that you mention it, makes me think of those memory triggers. ..hmmmm... how did those get spread all over the places? That's a cool twist.
That'd be something cool, someone (mysterious) feeding some intel every now and then. :eahigh_file:
