Actually after playing through the game multiple times, every time I have defeated the crow mauler I've found the key.

Even if you kill him after sleeping in the bed, he still shows up in the mines. If you kill him then, he can still drop the key.

End game content you'll encounter him again with two heads instead of one, this one also drops the key, which makes no sense, because the game locks you out of being able to leave the final part of the game.
