ただの殺され損ではないか

I'm stumbled on this meaning here. By context I can gather it seems to be akin
as "Being killed is just a disadvantage, isn't it?" but why 殺され損?




Verb (+「(さ)せる」「(ら)れる」 ) in masu-form + 損 generally forms a compound noun that
means "the situation of doing something and it ending up in vain (or at least
by far not effective enough.)" People take it as 損 "loss" because they expect
an outcome matching up their effort, time, money or something they put to take
the action.

Therefore, in this context, 殺され損 means the situation of the hero being killed
and his death ending up in vain (despite the expectation that it would right
the police and the world.)
