Title: Dead on an Island
Post by Roy42 on Jul 7^th, 2006, 11:59pm

At a CSI night at one of my camps, we had to solve puzzles to get clues, this is one

A woman is found dead on a island with no food, water and possesions. She did not die of hunger, thirst, heart conditions or suicide.
How did she die?

P.S. Sorry if it's already on the forums, but im new and don't want to check for ten hours :-/

The obvious answer would be [hide]a car accident[/hide], but many more are possible.

I'm guessing that the word 'traffic' is a mistake here.

Whoops, careless me! :P yeah, traffic was a mistake, i was real tired when i posted it, thinking too much of the answer, run over on a traffic island

Most other usual guesses without traffic were:
Drowned, Coconut fell on head etc. Sorry! wasted topic

Could she possibly be a [hide] scuba diver from the ocean dropped by a helicopter trying to put out a fire? [/hide] Just a hunch ;D ;D

Since we have to eliminate hunger, thirst, heart attack and suicide, my guess is that somebody else killed her and then left the island. Or she had stroke. Or maybe it was a meteorite, or a satellite. Maybe she died because of aids. Or plague. Nobody said she was healthy. Damn I am good! I can provide not one, but six answers for a single riddle! :o

I didn't say heart attack, i said any heart conditions at all, which also eliminates old age, if a meteorite or satellite had killed her it would be generally counted as a possesion. And i did forget to mention that she was completely healthy, it was after the plauge and yes someone else did kill her and instantly left the island. But alot of you already get that. Sorry if you were just coming up with the alternatives.

She drank lots of bottles of liquor in disposable, biodegradable containers, which slowly killed her liver.

She was flying overhead and had to go pee. All of the planes restrooms were occupied, and she just couldn't wait. Being the subject of a well-known series of jokes, she decided to step outside and do it around back. ::)

Maybe she accedintally hit oil, and the blast threw her up in the air, the air pressure was to great so she suffacated and fell to the ground dead.
I don't know, just a thought.... XD
