One male, white, died transfixed (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

impaled

'transfixed' is the definition.
('impale' can be a synonym of 'transfix')

'one male white died' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'white' becomes 'pale' (I've seen this before).
'died' becomes 'd'.
'i'+'m'+'pale'+'d'='IMPALED'

(Other definitions for impaled that I've seen before include "Transfixed" , "Stuck" , "Pierced as with a stick or stake" , "Pierced through in mid-leap" , "killed for a vampire" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
