Does this passage support annihilationism?

Claim:

Paul writes that God “alone possesses immortality” (1 Tim. 6:16). Annihilationists argue that this supports the notion that those in hell are not conjoined to an eternal soul. Instead, they are annihilated at death. Is this the case?

Response:

See comments on 2 Thessalonians 1:9.
