"Your Grace, if my father had seen the things that I've seen, he'd also tell you to burn the dead before nightfall."
-- Jon Snow's words to Stannis after Stannis' troops attacked a group of wildlings and killed many of them. Those wildlings were not killed by White Walkers of wights, and yet Snow - who by now knows what he's dealing with - is clearly implying that they can be raised.
Judging by this, you do not need to be killed by wights or White Walkers to become a wight.
