Is Torbjorn's turret destroyed upon death?

Is Torbjörn's turret destroyed upon death? Or does it stay until it destroyed by an ennemy?

The only thing mentioned about his turret on the wiki (gamepedia) is this :

 Torbjörn constructs an enemy-tracking autocannon. He can use his hammer to upgrade it, increasing its health and adding a second cannon barrel.


Solution 1:

I don't have a source for this besides personal experience, but Torbjörn's turret will remain upon death. It is only destroyed if you setup a new one, the enemy destroys it, or you switch heroes.

Solution 2:

No, but also yes.

Torbjorn's turret will not be destroyed if you kill the Torbjorn while he has a functional turret. However, if you kill Torbrjon as his turret is building (build animation and gaining health from 0-150), then his newly placed turret will also be destroyed.
