Yes there is a more detailed account of that somewhere and my bet would be somewhere in the appendices concerned with Arthedain and the war with Angmar. It was Glorfindel who pronounced this prophecy; he said it when the King was about to follow the defeated Witch-King. It was something like 'Far off is his doom and not by the hand of a man will he be slain.'

Another good example of a prophecy in Middle Earth is the Doom of Mandos, simple and to the point, and more importantly: very true.
