Do we know for sure it was a Stunning Spell? We see a jet of red 
light, but we don't hear Bellatrix's incantation. <SNIP> ~Phyllis

In the American version, it just says a "jet of light" hit SB in the 
chest, and then his eyes were surprised, and he fell through the 
veil. It doesn't say "red light." Indeed, I was kinda surprised it 
didn't say "green", like the AK. I'm still not sure whether the spell 
killed him or whether it was the fall though the veil, not that it 
matters how someone died, just the horror that they're dead is 
important, here. 

But it would be nice to know.
