onthelang Will Reality Star Jade Goody still be alive by August 1st 2009?
Settled as No
Jade Goody died in her sleep this morning with her mother and her husband by her side.
Background:
Background: Goody was tested for ovarian cancer in 2004 and bowel cancer in 2006, but was given the all-clear both times.Jade underwent hospital tests in early August 2008 after her third cancer scare. She had already collapsed four times. The test results confirmed she had cervical cancer; she was told of this on August 19 2008 while in the Indian version of Big Brother, called Bigg Boss.Her spokesperson said, "It looks like her cancer is at an early stage but we will have to wait until she gets back to Britain and sees a specialist and has more tests".On 1 September 2008 it was reported that Goody's cancer was "advanced and life-threatening" and that she would be having an operation followed by chemotherapy.Doctors warned that her survival chance could be as low as 65%.Further tests, and a hysterectomy, "went well" according to her publicist, and Goody is expected to begin a course of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

actually it seems that there is no broad consensus about death related markets.
please read this forum thread which discusses the pro/con of these kind of markets
http://www.hubdub.com/e/Topic/Patrick_Swayze_death_market_276
and I invite you explicitly to contribute your thoughts there.
the "When will Kim Jong-Il have died?" refers to allegations and assumptions that Jong-Il actually is dead already but that is passing away is denied for political reasons. In this sense you don't actually make a bet on when someone will die, rather than is there a conspiracy hiding given circumstances.
and welcome back?
