Who is tormenting people at the antique shop?

In the second half of the movie, we realize that the shop is haunted by a witch hunter, who died in a place that was previously investigated by the Hepta group. The Vergara Palace was haunted and the Hepta group was called to investigate, which brought the witch hunter into their world. But he got stuck in the antique shop. The witch hunter hated women and his mission was to kill three witches, zeroing in on the three women in the Hepta group. To bring the group to the shop, the hunter lures Father and attacks him, which leads to the rest of the group to investigate the shop. All this so, the witch hunter could fulfill his wish and kill the three women. 

Does Father die?

In the last ten minutes of the movie, the group defeats the witch hunter, but loses Father in a fight with the entity. While they are celebrating the win over evil, something strikes them. The question looms over that if the group will continue their investigations without their leader, Father. In the start of the movie, a rule gets mentioned about the group that they never go on any paranormal hunting without each other. So it does seem like the Hepta group will stop their investigations into the paranormal after the integral part of their group, Father, passes away.
