AK was either a fake or half hearted, Dumbledores peaceful expression,
his flying up in the air, the fact that Harry's scream never left him
when Dumbledore *should* have already been dead and couldn't move
until approximately the moment when Dumbledores body hit the ground.
There is absolute mounds of questionables hanging over that Avada
Kedavra, it is absolutely *not* a given indisputable cold blooded AK
we've seen one of those and it looked remarkably different."

I want to believe that it is entirely possible for the AK curse to have been staged on the tower and that Dumbledore may possibly still be alive, but I think its unlikely. I thought Dumbledore's death was described in this manner because he was no 'ordinary' man. In all the other instances where AK was used, it was never used on anyone as great as Dumbledore. I really thought the whole thing with him falling from the tower was just to make the moment of his death more dramatic. The moment is so pivotal in the plot of the HP series (not nearly as much as Frank Bryce or Cedric's death), that it had to be described in some greater detail. In my mind it would be an injustice to Dumbledore to have him killed off in such an ordinary way. It would be the same thing if Voldemort is killed in the end of the series by simply falling to the ground after being hit by a curse. It would just make that moment too ordinary.I hope im wrong, but I think Dumbledore really did die from the curse.
