'Death is a relative term, really' - Lost Community Forums - Official Spoiler-free Lost Fansite

According to Damon and Carlton, 'death is a relative term, really'.

Locke will obviously still be around for a long time, since he's alive in the present timeline (if we are still to consider 2004 the present timeline), although he dies (?) in 2007. But, the question in this poll is: is he really dead in 2007? As in, you know... really dead? In some other show, seeing a dead body in a casket would mean that "Yes" is a definite answer... But this is LOST

I've listed all the theories I've come across, and you also can add your own.

Option 5 refers to the Orchid Station Orientation video from the Comic Con 2007.

It's also interesting to note that the real Jeremy Bentham (English 18th century/19th century philosopher) had his body preserved and displayed in a bizarre way in the University College of London - his skeleton was dressed in his own clothes and put in a wooden cabinet, with a wax head. UCL Bentham Project I'm not sure what exactly this means, but it has to mean something for the story...
