I don't know where you got this from but I remember the official translation saying defeated, not killed.

Edit: Oh god, you got that from Blackjohn. He is banned here. He was notorious for doing whatever he could to get us to change Grimmjow's status to deceased and would manipulate whatever words he could to get it that way. I kind of want to unban him for a day just so I can laugh in his face.
