    Pseudo,

    Just sent you a PM.

    Oh, and "died" should suffice. That is, after all, what happened.

    "Died" in any kind of news story.

    I've softened on one front: If it's a column, and some other term fits the context a little better, I think it's OK to allow it. But if it's a tweener, back to "died."
