”很多人是被医院治死的“

mabye cured to death is not exactly the best way to express this...

Editor: The consensus among editors seems to be that it's best to understand this sense of 治死 as a construct ("to kill by medical treatment"), along the lines of 毒死 ("to kill by poisoning"), 闷死 etc.

治 is "to treat", not "to cure". (I've put in a submission to change our def of 治).

The current def is an awkward way of saying "to punish by killing".
Diff:
- 治死 治死 [zhi4 si3] /to punish to death/
# + 治死 治死 [zhi4 si3] /to punish to death/to "cure" to death
+ 治死 治死 [zhi4 si3] /to put to death/
