Well, if we believe there was an actual fatal argument between the three, it wouldn't be fakery (that is, a deliberate "illusion"), but the mere fact that one of the people slumped on the floor of the foyer isn't dead doesn't mean they were trying to fake. If Battler gets conked on the head and locked in a chainlocked room and everyone peeking in thinks he's dead, it's not an "illusion," the observers just drew the wrong conclusion.

EDIT: Though one can claim that making observers draw the wrong conclusion is the whole point of "illusion to illusion," but what I'm driving at is that Will perhaps thinks an illusion is more deliberate.

I submit that a murder was committed in 1996.
This murder was a "copycat" crime inspired by our tales of 1986.
This story is a redacted confession.
