Death, downfall (4)

I believe the answer is:

doom

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'death' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'downfall' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for doom that I've seen before include "Unavoidable ill-fortune" , "Death, destruction" , "Curse" , "Bad destiny" , "Mood of grim fate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
