tahm's devour does not take you out of the game/give you immunity. Fizz can still die to summoner 14 on his troll poll Same thought, only tahm kench can inturrupt targetted spells.

It makes them untargetable (immnue from taking any new effects), not invulnerable (immune from taking damage). DoT or delayed effects still can kill

Nope, it doesn't prevent damage at all. It prevents targeting, which is not the same thing. It's not a Zhonya's effect, which does both.

I kill people kind of routinely after they get eaten with DFT/Torment (Swain ftw). DoTs still apply while the champ is in Tahm's belly, and I'm not surprised to hear that Zed ult still procs too. Let's not pretend this is bad. We need all the help we can get against TK.

Im pretty sure if Tahm eats you while Zed ults you (when he is untargetable and dashes behind you), the mark doesnt even apply in the first place. At least thats how it is with Fizz E.

Well, yeah, if you become untargetable before the make applies, that's entirely different. Still doesn't change that if you are successfully marked, TK can't stop the proc.

it doesn't remove any debuffs it just makes you untargetable

the best way to prevent an ally from dying to deathmark is to immediately eat them after zed ults so he can't use his 3 seconds to add up damage.

Tahm's devour only prevents further damage from being applied directly, abilities with DoT effects that have already been applied, abilities with delayed damage like Zed's Ultimate, or Vlad's utlimate are already applied will still do damage. Any damage over time effects, red buff, ignite, Deathfire Grasp, etc.

In fact you can still deal damage over time effects from inside Tahm's belly as well. An ulting fiddlesticks will still apply the damage in an aoe fashion to and around tahm if consumed.

As was stated elsewhere, if you were to consume the person immediately when they were deathmarked, you could prevent further damage from being applied to them so Zed doesn't get the extra damage pop.

It makes you untargetable, not invulnerable.

It's fun to chase around a Tahm as Singed and just scream "EAT ME!"

Why do people keep reposting the answer after the first guy said it....

Damage that us already attached to a champion will not be magically removed by Tahm Kench eating them. For example, Space Aids, Tristana bomb, Mordekaiser Ult, Deathfire Touch, Vlad Ult, Ignite, and as you discovered Zed Ult. These things will keep doing their damage. There are plenty more examples too.
