As far as the being stabed part, I read somewhere that it was Elendil who stabed him, and this was the blow that mortaly wounded him. Elendil was subsequently killed by the heat of Sauron's body.
It would seem obvious that he would have been cut/slashed/stabbed several times as the people fighting him would be using their weapons, and Elendil had a sword and Gil-Galad had a spear. The thrown down part in my opinion is the implying his defeat, not that someone actually body-slammed him.
