Question Who Killed Him?

Who killed the Witch-King? Merry or Eowyn? Or both? I always thought it was Merry...but maybe I read that part wrong. Sorry if this question has been asked before, but I'm confused!

This topic should be in the books, however it has also been covered before. If I remember correctly, the general consensus was they both were responsible. Merry by stabbing the Nazgul distracted him so Eowyn could deliver the killing blow, neither were men, fulfilling the prophecy that the Witch-King could not be killed by a man.

Eowyn dealt the killing blow, but Merry opened it up for her to do so.
