The way I saw it, I always thought it didnt have to be a killing curse as it hit him in a somewhat "vital spot". I guess an analogy of sorts would be getting stabbed with a knife. If you get stabbed in the arm, you wouldnt die (well, you could if you lose too much blood) but if you got stabbed in the heart, then you'd probably die.
