Sauron was a Maia, a demi-god of sorts, and thus could not be "killed." Sauron's bodily form was destroyed in the destruction of Numenor, and he was ever after unable to assume a fair form. When Isildur severed the Ring from him, Sauron's spirit was greatly diminished, but not destroyed. Sauron was finally destroyed by Frodo when he dropped the ring into Mt. Doom, the volcano. Even then, his spirit still lived on, but so diminished in power as to be completely defeated for many an age.

Sauron is a Maiar a lesser spirit of Ainur, the same kind of being as Olorion and Curumo, who became known as Gandalf and Saruman when they were sent down to Arda as Istari. He was originally called Mairon, and was known for being highly accomplished, but he fell and supported the fallen Valar (greater spirit) Melkor as his lieutenant. After Melkor's defeat, Sauron took his role as Dark Lord of Mordor and is also known as Lord of the Rings, engineering the creation of the Rings of Power along with his own creation, the One Ring to rule them.

In the novel, Boromir is killed when he is struck by arrows. We do not know the identity of the shooters, they are simply nameless members of an orcish horde.

In the movie adaptation, the fatal wounds are caused by an Uruk Hai captain who is not named in the movie itself, but named 'Lurtz' in other official sources such as Games Workshop's licensed Lord of the Rings collectable miniatures.

Sauron was slain by Isildur, the Son of Elendil during the battle of the Last Alliance. He killed Sauron by chopping the one ring off his hand using Narsil (his father's sword).
