  I hate to let the facts get in the way of a good story, much less a good
  argument. But barring Flints, it's conclusive  that an Unforgivable Curse didn't
  kill Dumbledore (and thanks, Nora, for pointing out the thematic significance
  of that.) The closed eyes and the blood are facts on the ground. Literally.  
  The BANG on the tower has been undermined already, by JKR herself. 



  kchuplis:

  I still don't see how this is "conclusive". We have absolutely no reference that a person, freshly killed by an AK, being dropped 100 feet (I believe it is canon that the astronomy tower is 100 ft tall, have to check that) would not have blood and eyes closed it nothing. I know routinely people have died with eyes open but in every case *we* know of they were AK'd suddenly. DD definitely knows what is coming and is apparently accepting and at peace with that. I think it is pretty dangerous to say this is "conclusive".
