Ben here:

Hello all. I'm a first-time poster here so forgive me if I'm doing 
it all wrong.

Although there have been a lot of near misses, (another would be 
Barty Crouch Jr - he was given the dementor's kiss but that does not 
kill. This may lend support to the Dumbledore-not-being-dead 
argument. However there have been some cases of death inside 
Hogwarts:
     - Quirrel
     - The spider killed by Moody in GoF
     - Ginny: "And a death Eater's dead, he got hit by a killing 
curse the huge blond one was firing off everywhere..." HBP pg 571
UK version
     - Barty Crouch Sr. was killed in the grounds
     - Moaning Myrtle
     - Dumbledore (I happen to believe he was killed)
