Hmm, I didn't know this depends on the number of guards in the room!

Here is what Jordan Mechner wrote about it in the PoP2 document.

"When you kill a guard, the program makes a determination as to whether the guard should fall dead or fall off the edge. The first guard on the screen will almost always drop dead... Subsequent guards will have about 50% of dropping dead. When there are two dead guards on screen, the chance of dropping dead will drop to 25%; when there are three dead guards, to zero."

I am not sure the actual implementation follows those rules exactly as stated (you can have more than 3 dead guards) but it definitely is affected by the number of dead guards.
