ousted leader
dear friends...
oust
tr.v. oust·ed, oust·ing, ousts
1. To eject from a position or place; force out.
2. To take the place of, especially by force; supplant.
Could please verify if these blue sentences sound good?
ousted leader asks for help
forced out president has been shot-dead publically
ejected CEOs have been found dead at their homes
removed politician has been caught red-handed doing...
expelled official is not leaving his country
put out secretary fathered a minor 3 children.
Do you know any other structure that may be synonymous with 'ousted', to describe a person whose position has been taken by force?
Thank you.

expelled official is not leaving his country - This is possible, but it would be better to say "refuses to leave his country".
I say no to the others.
Although the other words are synonyms, they can't replace "ousted" very well.

Re: ousted leader
I agree - but 'disposed' is often seen.
