Damage source can be any entity, and they are not excluded.

@unknown I believe only living entities should appear on death messages.

@ampolive no, if one get killed by an arrow or snowball without an owner, like dispenser summoned them, then they are appeared in the death message.

You can also use /damage to kill a living entity with any sources, like "Player was slain by Bread".
