Is this correctly said?

Does this sentence mean that somebody has died by now or is this correct sentence if everybody is still alive?

"I asked her about it and she answered that it would continue until one of them was killed"

Without additional context, they are all still alive. If one of them had died, the sentence would be: She answered that it [had] continued until one them was killed.

  • Without additional context, they are all still alive.
  • If one of them had died, the sentence would be: She answered that it [had] continued until one them was killed.
