Maybe he meant the King is very much alive but chilling on the other side of the board with no will to be part of this deadly 'chess' game.
In which case is it possible to only mate with a knight and a rook? No I don't think it's possible to force the opposite king on a corner but it's certainly possible to mate this way for instance, if the opponent helps you:
