A tragic end that makes for another amazing story and history for your world.
In the next fortress if you meet another werecritter you better pause and take careful note of the combat log and any dwarf it attacked assign to a new squad and move them to a room and seal up the entrance until the next full moon.

If you're going through the log anyway, look for "bites", punches, kicks, and scratches don't transfer the curse

Yeah I'd always heard that was the strat but never had any issue dispatching them normally. Guess I was just lucky until now!
