Do you just mean if someone is revealed to have died? I think that would still count under 5a (see example). As long as it's in, like, the rough present of the strip, rather than a distant flashback, seems to me it should still count.
Let's say I bet on redcloack, which I don't, but whatever. Then we see Xyxon's castle exploding from a distance, and it cuts to another scene immediately. Later, there is a flashback where we see redcloack running through the halls trying to prevent the explosion, but arriving too late. The death happens in an event we saw, but the death is only revealed in a flashback.
