  Me-
    I must disagree.  In GF (US 682) Dumbledore says "The imposter
needed, of course, to keep the real Moody CLOSE BY, so he could
continue making the potion."  Later, (US 689) Crouch says  "I kept him
alive, under the imperious curse.  I wanted to be able to question
him. To find out about his past, learn his habits, so that I could
fool even Dumbledore." The wording in these two passages leads me to
believe that the polyjuice potion would work even if the person were
no longer alive.  Crouch himself says the only reason he kept Moody
alive was to question him.
