Too bad neither isn't an answer, because even if technically Eowyn hit the final blow and without Merry crippling him and giving her a chance to do it it wouldn't have happened, it could have been a self fulfilling prophecy and he might have only died because of Glorfindel's prophecy and timing. What are the odds that in that exact place, hundreds of years after the prophecy that two non men/humans would be there? And even so, maybe the Witch King only died because he believed it possible he could. I don't presume to answer but magic in Middle Earth was unexplainable, and destiny in the end killed him. And wasn't he dead already, undead.
