Going back in time

Hi. Please tell me if this example sentence is correct when we're talking about a person who is dead and what he would have done in this context when he was alive. Thank you in advance for your help.

I think he would have done it this way if he were in this situation.

anonymous I think he would have done it this way if he were in this situation. That seems OK. An alternative: I think he would have done it this way if he had been in a situation like this.
