While it is initially believed that Dutton has died at his own hand, it is later revealed that he was actually murdered in a scheme involving Sarah Atwood (played by Dawn Olivieri), who is romantically involved with Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley).
Costner confirmed in June that he would not be returning for the new season.
The actor made the announcement in a video he shared on Instagram.

I just realized that I’m not going to be able to continue Season 5b or into the future.”
