A man is dead in a bath. All the doors are locked and there no window meaning no one can get in or out. The man has been cut across his stomach but there is no one weapon what-so-ever in the room. How did he die?

Guessing... he used a sharp slither of ice to cut his own stomach open, which has subsequently melted away ?

Of course the man could have cut himself with a knife before going into the room and locking the door, then eventually died in the bathtub. Note that you wouldn't die right away from a cut across the stomach.

Oooh. I had a nice explanation. The man was brought to the morgue frozen in a block of ice, and the ice broke before it melted. Of course, the room of the morgue is locked as it ought to be.
