Has BBC Let Slip A QUANTUM OF SOLACE Secret??

Merrick here...
To be completely honest, I don't know anything about the following one way or the other...I'm just sharing with you what was pointed out to me by a reader named Julian. BBC has an article about Alicia Keys and Jack White singing the theme song for QUANTUM OF SOLACE. In the article (which you can find HERE), Julian caught an interesting twist of phrase that may reveal an key plot element of the film. An element that, to the best of my knowledge, we've heard nothing about to date. Have we? Is this a simple case of miswording? A mistake? Or, did BBC let a cat out of the bag?

Apparent death?
