Test will tell if BP oil well can be declared dead
NEW ORLEANS – Depending on the results of an overnight pressure test, government officials were expected to announce Sunday that the blown-out BP well in the Gulf of Mexico was dead, five months after an explosion killed 11 workers, sank a drilling rig and led to the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history.

My comment: I guess now it is just a matter of declaring people prematurely dead one by one and possibly into the millions in the years and decades to come.
