colebiancardi:  which actually brings up a good point.  If DD was 
killed immediately when Snape AK'd him, then DD would have been flung 
off the tower & hit the ground with such speed & force that DD's body 
would be flat as a pancake with lots of blood, guts and gore splattered 
everywhere.

So, based on that, I still believe that Snape released DD from whatever 
was killing him (for me, it is the cursed ring that did it) and DD 
controlled his own fall because he was still alive, although very weak 
and dying.  I believe DD died after he reached the bottom of the tower.
