The term kill refers to causing death of a creature.

When kills are made by summoned minions, totems, traps or mines, player characters are credited for kills for the purposes of increased item quantity and rarity, flasks, and achievement-related stats, but generally not combat-related stats, where the non-player entity would get the credit for the kill instead. This can be demonstrated with enemies cursed with Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Warlord's Mark". Please choose only one of the following ids:
MonsterWarlordsMark - Base duration is 4.00 seconds, Cursed enemies grant 2% Life Leech when Hit by Attacks, Cursed enemies grant 2% Mana Leech when Hit by Attacks, Cursed enemies have a 100% chance to grant an Endurance Charge when slain, Hits against Cursed Enemies have 40% chance to double Stun Duration (page)
ArchnemesisWarlordsMark - Base duration is 4.00 seconds, Cursed enemies grant 2% Life Leech when Hit by Attacks, Cursed enemies grant 2% Mana Leech when Hit by Attacks, Cursed enemies have a 100% chance to grant an Endurance Charge when slain, Hits against Cursed Enemies have 40% chance to double Stun Duration (page)
granting Endurance charges to those non-player entities making the kills.

However, there is currently a "bug"[citation needed] that causes any damage over time kills to always grant credit to the player character even if they are caused by a minion, totem, trap, or mine. For example, monsters cursed with Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Poacher's Mark". Please choose only one of the following ids:
PoachersMarkTriggered - -20% additional Physical Damage Reduction, Trigger this Skill when you Hit a Rare or Unique Enemy and have no Mark (page)
PoachersMarkTriggeredtest - Base duration is (7.4-11.8) seconds, -20% additional Physical Damage Reduction, Trigger this Skill when you Hit a Rare or Unique Enemy (page)
will grant the player Frenzy charges if they are killed by poison caused by minions or killed by Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Scorching Ray". Please choose only one of the following ids:
KaomFireBeamTotemSpectre - 12% less Totem Damage per Summoned Totem, Totem lasts 5 seconds, Deals (3.3-1258.6) Base Fire Damage per second, Base duration is 1.50 seconds, Summons a Totem which uses this Skill, Additional Debuff stages add -40% of Damage, Fire Exposure applies -25% to Fire Resistance (page)
FireBeam - Deals (13.4-780.7) Base Fire Damage per second, Base duration is 1.50 seconds, Modifiers to Spell Damage apply to this Skill's Damage Over Time effect, Burning Debuff can have a maximum of 8 stages, Additional Debuff stages add 60% of Damage, Fire Exposure applies -25% to Fire Resistance (page)
linked Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Spell Totem Support". This may or may not be an intended effect.

Totems and minions that have despawned, either through their duration expiring, being killed, or spawning more than the maximum amount, all count as having died. For instance, despawning minions will trigger the caustic cloud effect from the Necromancer's Beacon of Corruption ascendancy passive. Likewise, players wearing a Soul MantleSoul Mantle

Corpses

Most creatures leave corpses on death. Totems and non-unique monsters killed when frozen or under certain effects (e.g. PyrePyre
Sapphire Ring
Requires Level 11+(20-30)% to Cold Resistance+(25-35)% to Fire Resistance
(60-80)% increased Burning Damage

On/when kill effects

Similarly to on-hit effects, there are effects that trigger when creature has been killed:
