How do I index the killer?

Let's say a Player kills an NPC, and the NPC just has to print the name of the killer. How do I index the player that killed the NPC?

Thanks in advance.

Assuming the weapon inserts the creator tag in to the victims Humanoid.

local npc = script.Parent
local humanoid = npc:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
humanoid.Died:connect(function()
	local tag = humanoid:findFirstChild("creator") 
	-- ObjectValue
	if tag then 
		-- There was a killer. If the npc uses weapons, check to make sure it didn't kill itself with that.
		print(tag.Value.Name)
	else
		-- There wasn't a killer. 
		print(npc.Name.. " jumped off a ledge or a tag was never created.")
	end
	--print (tag and tag.Value.Name or npc.Name.. " killed itself or no tag was created.")
end)

If you take apart a sword script, the player gets KOs the same way in which you are looking for.
