I think that is why Myrtle is the "debated candidate". Everyone agrees that Myrtle died when looking into the baskalist eyes. Some think that the baskalist was the "weapon" used that killed Myrtle and that Tom should get the "credit".

In the same way, if Toon would throw someone into a tank of sharks with lasers attached to their heads, we would consider Toon the killer, and not the sharks.


But what if Toon has the sharks planned for someone else and you trip and fall down into the tank? Is he still a murderer? As I was reminded, there were other incidents but no one else died. Myrtle could have been in the wrong place when the basilisk appeared

Was Tom planning to kill her or any other muggle? Hard to tell, but the scene of him trying to figure out what the consequences of his action were, looks as he didn't expect it. I don't think Riddle had wanted Hogwarts to close, nor he considered something to cause it.
