Eliminate the Leadership and "Death"

[Mephet'ran]

Hello! I have a question about two moment of rules... Scheme "Eliminate the Leadership" and concept of word "Death".

1. If model dead - is it have 0 Wounds? Or "it is just dead and enough"?

2. Second point in "Eliminate the Leadership": "The first time the enemy Leader is reduced below half of their starting Wounds, score 1 VP". If Leader will dead in the end of game through buried - "he is have 0 Wounds" (and below half of his starting Wounds) or "he is just dead and that's all"?

Killing a  model does not automatically reduce it to 0 wounds, so if you have killed it by it being buried at the end of the game, or the use of an assassinate trigger and you didn't reduce it to half wounds, you only score for the kill, not the reducing below half starting wounds.
