Jade Goody, an obscure dental technician who parlayed an appearance on the British reality television show “Big Brother” into a career as a full-time celebrity, even as she became terminally ill, died of cervical cancer early Sunday at her home in Essex. She was 27.
Ms. Goody’s mother, Jackiey, announced the death.
Ms. Goody is survived by her mother and grandmother; her husband, Jack Tweed; and her sons, Bobby, 5, and Freddie, 4.
