Answer
The Nobel Prizes are generally not awarded posthumously. According to the statutes of the Nobel Foundation, a prize may only be awarded to someone who is alive at the time the prize is announced. However, if a laureate dies between the announcement of the prize and the award ceremony, the prize is still presented.
