JJJ or Foggy could very well stay dead, because there is much less interest in supporting characters than there used to be. It's only heroes and villains that tend to always come back. Uncle Ben, Gwen and Captain Stacy, and Jack Murdock are still dead.
Two of those died as a function of the character's origin stories and were never really characters anyway. The other two died in a time where new ideas were being introduced at a fast enough rate to allow for the killing off of older ones and nothing was sacred. Marvel would never let either of them stay dead nowadays, they'd be alive now if their story was told ten years ago.
