I suspect I'm being an idiot, my brain really isn't clicking with 10th Edition. However my question is...

The Death Guard Helbrute has the ability "Infused with the Blessings of Nurgle".

This states (after the errata):
Each time this model is selected to shoot or fight, after it has finished making its attacks, select one enemy unit that was hit by one or more of those attacks. Until the start of your next turn, that enemy unit is always considered to be within Contagion Range of this model.

What happens if the Helbrute dies before the start of my next turn? The model has gone, it should have no effect on the game any more, but the rule does state "until the start of your next turn", which a part of my head is saying means that the normal effects of being dead and gone are overridden and the targeted model stays infected with the goo that the Helbrute flung at it.

But that's nonsense isn't it?

My Helbrute dies, the effect is no more.

It says that "until the start of your next turn that enemy unit is always considered to be within Contagion Range of this model."

If the Helbrute is destroyed the unit no longer has a Contagion range and the targeted unit is no longer under the effect.

I can see this reading, and it's what I'd go with. But I think it'd be worth emailing GW and seeing what their intent is, for what it's worth.

There can’t be a Contagion range if the model is dead.
