Ross

I believe the answer is:

slain

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">assassinated</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for slain that I've seen before include "Killed, murdered" , "Violently killed" , "Put to the sword" , "Slaughtered" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and The Sun.
