 God dammit, I created a monk earlier and on the first two levels I found an aligned altar, a blessed elven mithril coat, a crystal plate mail, a blessed two handed sword, a tinning kit and more jackal corpses than I could carry.

I just had my fastest death.

Found a spell book 2 steps away from where I spawned in DL1, read it and apparently it was a book of teleport away. I teleported to some random part of the map beside a jackal that proceeded to rip me to shreds before I could respond.

Today I've also died by:
-Getting food poisoning by eating a rotten egg.
-Putting on an amulet of strangulation.
-Turning into a wererat after eating a wererat corpse and getting clawed to death by a kitten.
It's generally not a good idea to read random spellbooks or put on random amulets, you should eat any egg you find immediately (provided it's not a cockatrice one), and you can pray to cure food poisoning and lycanthropy.

Has anyone officially announced development is dead? Or just no one cares anymore?

this has comments from the devteam as recent as august 2011. It appears the devteam hasn't dropped off the face of the earth completely, but that is still very thin.
