Departed — late (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dead

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'departed' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'late' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

(Other definitions for dead that I've seen before include "Defunct" , "Pushing up the daisies" , "No longer alive" , "cold" , "Six feet under" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
