Pippin:
My alternative explanation, in one line:
Dumbledore died of the poison shortly before Harry found him. 

The only assumption required is that Snape didn't kill him. Whether
that's reasonable or not depends on your point of view. <g>

It is not an assumption that an AK can be ineffective or that
wizards can survive falls from a considerable height, as we have
canon for both those instances.

There is no hypothesis about the operation of the UV that does
not require assumptions, so I set that aside.
