I submit that only one time have we seen Avada Kedavra work like you
describe above, at other times the victims had a look of terror on
their face not a blank expression, on another occasion it left a
physical mark on the intended victim, another time it did not,
sometimes it causes absolutely no damage, another time it destroyed a
house, yet another time it smashed a very large statue. I see nothing
unusual in the way that curse worked that night on that tower.

Well of course he is, JKR isn't about to let a very major character
just close his eyes and die, he was after all in the highest tower at
Hogwarts so he must fall dramatically off.
