Dead or Alive?

Ever found yourself wondering "wait… are they still alive?" Dead or Alive? settles it in seconds — but first, take a guess!

Type the name of any celebrity, musician, athlete, politician, or historical figure, tap GO, then make your call: DEAD or ALIVE? Tap your answer to reveal the truth — a big badge, their photo, and the key facts — and find out if you got it right.

FEATURES • Take a guess — tap DEAD or ALIVE before the answer is revealed, then see if you nailed it. • Instant answer — a bold DEAD or ALIVE verdict at a glance. • The details that matter — date of birth or death, and the age they reached. • Cause of death in plain English — medical jargon is translated into everyday words. • Smart name matching — searched "George Bush"? Pick the exact person from a list instead of guessing. • Knows a person from a place — it checks the subject is actually a human, so bands, teams, and brands won't get a false "alive". • Recent searches — jump back to names you've looked up before. • Clean, fast, and respectful — no accounts, no clutter.

HOW IT WORKS Dead or Alive? draws its information from Wikipedia and Wikidata, the same free, community-maintained sources used across the web. There are no accounts and nothing to sign up for.

A NOTE ON ACCURACY Information comes from public databases and is only as current as those sources. For the vast majority of well-known people it's spot on, but very obscure entries may be incomplete.
