I just don't see that robbing Sauron of his ring would 'kill' him, so to speak. The fact is he lived after when Gollum, Bilbo and Frodo had his ring. Therefore it is evident that Isildur courageously cut the ring from an already 'dead' Sauron, thus robbing him of a great source of power. The final blow was delivered by either Elendil or Gil-Galad and I choose Gil-Galad because, quite frankly, I like him better.
