In fact, he was not added to the other part of The Lion King, not because he is dead, but because those who made the Lion King 2 simply did not know that there is such a character. Kopa was the cub Rafiki presented at the end of The Lion King, with Kiara being presented at the beginning of The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride. (Both spawn were even brought to Rafiki in different manners.) That is why Kopa was cut from the 2nd installation of the franchise, weather or not and the sequel's creators were unaware of him. So of course Ford Riley is in the dark, too.
