Why not try writing in a novel format called 'roman à clef'!? That's a novel which has obvious stand-ins for the figures that you want to kill off for your story, but avoids moral and ethical (and possibly legal) concerns about killing them off!. There are bunches of examples and a description at the following link!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

you can get arrested for using the president!. it would be consider a death threat!. but as long as you have a fictional disclaimer all other public figures are up for grabs!. That is the downside of fame!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
