That is the conclusion I was arriving at, unless I was missing something.
Mildly surprised the crossword editor accepted such a clue.

Just back from late lunch: I took it as meaning: "when one makes one's exit, one is dying" Horrible clue :(

Just finished this crossword after a bit of a struggle with 17a (I do hate sports clues :( )
