Wikipedia: The Times Online reports in 2009 that work on The World had been suspended due to the effects of the global financial crisis. The Irish businessman John O'Dolan, who purchased "Ireland" and the "English" islands, committed suicide in February 2009 after his consortium fell into financial difficulty.

O'Dolan was found dead in his home on Friday, 27 February 2009.
