Well, that wasn't part of the original question or situation which was not "if he survived and went on a murderous rampage against a wizard who had just saved his life" but simply "if Gollum survived the destruction of the Ring."

Yes. but realistically Gollum was a danger to anyone for a random attack surely, if he had any will and physical strength left.
