Arkham Horror
What happens when a defeated investigator draws a Headline?
The rulebook's Being Defeated section says defeated investigators are unaffected by Headlines, which two replies also state; a relayed FFG reply about devoured investigators reads differently.

Nothing happens to the defeated investigator. While defeated you are unaffected by Headlines, so any effect that says 'you' does nothing to you. Effects aimed at other investigators or the board still apply, and your replacement is not in play yet. A relayed FFG reply about a devoured investigator says to resolve as much of the Headline as possible; the rulebook's defeat rule is followed here.
