Perish in water (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drown

'perish in water' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for drown that I've seen before include "Suffocate in liquid" , "Die in sea" , "Kill by submersion" , "Immerse (fatally?)" , "Submerge, maybe fatally" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
