I think it's fairly simple. If your stated goal was to kill that guy, and you got a Complete Success, you were Completely Successful in killing that guy. He's killed.

At lesser levels of success he's probably mortaly wounded, dying, etc and you can either finish him off or let nature take it's course.

HeroQuest isn't a game where the death of one side or the other is the only way a combat can end, but it certainly doesn't make it impossible, unlikely, or even difficult to accomplish.
