Got professional remedy, then died (8)
I believe the answer is:
procured
'got' is the definition.
(procuring is a kind of getting)
'professional remedy then died' is the wordplay.
'professional' becomes 'pro' ('pro' can be a synonym of 'professional').
'remedy' becomes 'cure' ('cure' can be a synonym of 'remedy').
'then' says to put letters next to each other.
'died' becomes 'd'.
'pro'+'cure'+'d'='PROCURED'
(Other definitions for procured that I've seen before include "Got hold of" , "came by" , "Obtained for producer" .)
