I saw on a site that said the name on the paper was "Jo" which would mean Locke. I believe Ben is in the casket. If it was Locke or Sawyer I don't think Kate would have made that comment about not going.
A lot of my friends believe Jack's dad is alive. I don't myself, and I think the alcohol made that comment about his dad.
What confuses me is that when Jack was seen in the pharmacy he was referred to as the hero on the bridge. If 20+ people came back 3 months after there plane crashed and supposedly everyone died that would be on national news and he would have been referred to as the guy from the survivors.
There is also alot of discussion about the maps Jack had laid out. Maps of England, Japan, and the US. Arrows drawn all over and push pins throughout the map.
