One particular doctor choking to death (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

the tomb

'death' is the definition.
(the tomb can figuratively mean death)

'one particular doctor choking to' is the wordplay.
'one particular' becomes 'the' (referring to a particular example of something).
'doctor' becomes 'mb' (Bachelor of Medicine, Medicinae Baccalaureus).
'choking' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters are choked or crushed).
'the'+'mb'='themb'
'themb' placed around 'to' is 'THE TOMB'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
