Jade Goody dies in her sleep

Mar. 22 - Reality TV star Jade Goody dies in her sleep after losing her battle with cancer.

The 27 year-old mother of two, who married her boyfriend Jack Tweedy last month, died in her sleep at her home in Essex, southeast England.

Initially ridiculed for her apparent lack of education - she thought Saddam Hussein was a boxer and a ferret was a bird- Goody gradually won the public over with her straight-talking style.

It was during an appearance on an Indian version of Big Brother in August last year that she learned she had cervical cancer.

She dropped out of the show to return to Britain for treatment and later learned the cancer was terminal.
