regardless of your own idea of the definition, to slay means to kill. if you throw someone off a cliff then you have slain them. the fall is just the means by which you have slain them. it doesn't matter what the final blow was, just who was responsible for it. it's like saying that stabbing someone to death is not really slaying them, because the knife was relied on for the killing. clearly, this doesn't make sense.
