Jade Goody: Another victim of Club 27?

Mar 25 2009 By Ben Goldby

Ben Goldby writes a conspiracy theory blog on our sister site at www.sundaymercury.net - this week he examines the death of Jade Goody and how she became the latest in a long list of celebrities to die aged 27...

Guitarist Jones died in very suspicious circumstances. The former Rolling Stone was found at the bottom of his swimming pool by his Swedish girlfriend, who later wrote a book about how her lover had been murdered.

As for The Doors' frontman Morrison, his demise is particularly mysterious.

He was found dead in a bathtub at his Paris apartment, but no autopsy was ever performed, allowing theorists to speculate on everything from murder to a faked death.

Jade's sad end may not have been a mystery, but the mere fact that she died at 27 will start tongues wagging again about the curse that stalks young celebrities at that tender age.
