| Do you need it to return the name? (Horse in The Horse is dead)
If so, try this:
^(An |A |The )?(.*?) is DEAD\!\!$
If not, and you just do this:
^(.*?) is DEAD\!\!$ |

| If you want the noun to return minus the article, then the first should work.
If youre only worried about the line catching, the second would work just as well. |

| Like Flannel says, a question mark after a group makes the entire group optional.
eg.
(foo|bar|wet|weather)?
Matches any of those four words, or none of them. |
