It was Crassus (the third wheel of the first triumvirate) that may have been killed by molten gold. Cicero was killed on the orders of Mark Antony, 21 months after the assassination of Julius Caesar. His head and hands were nailed to the senate doors.

I particularly love how he upends the standard view of Cicero for the establishment bullshit artist he was.
