Dead man walking? (6)

I believe the answer is:

zombie

'dead man walking?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for zombie that I've seen before include "One of the living dead" , "Corpse brought to life by sorcery" , "In voodooism, a corpse re-animated by sorcery" , "Corpse said to have been revived by witchcraft" , "Dull-witted person" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times, the King Feature Syndicate, The Sun and The Telegraph.
