Fell, and the stomach haemorrhaged (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tumbled

'fell' is the definition.
(tumbling is a kind of falling)

'the stomach haemorrhaged' is the wordplay.
'the stomach' becomes 'tum' ('tum' can be a synonym of 'stomach').
'haemorrhaged' becomes 'bled' (I've seen this before).
'tum'+'bled'='TUMBLED'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for tumbled that I've seen before include "Fell rapidly" , "Tripped" , "Fell and rolled over" , "Toppled, fell to the ground" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
