I can believe it.  Although it would be great for SIND to be true, I 
can see why Rowling killed him off.  First off, plot jump-start.  
What better way to make Harry hate Voldemort even *more*?  Second, 
JKR has stated that Sirius is one of her favorite characters, and 
it's a test of her writing abilities to be able to get rid of good 
characters for the sake of the plot like that.  That said, I don't 
necessarily think that Sirius *can't* be cleared after his death.  
It all the more likely that he will be, considering that the 
Ministry now knows he was in the Department of Mysteries "fighting 
the good fight".
