No, he was not bound to the chair according to the typical definition of the word "bound". Hee hee.

Edit: You know, since I'm trying to drive you crazy with my leading answer, I probably should have written Bu-wha-ha-ha-ha. Not hee hee.

Did he die of old age?
His age and health condition (aside from the condition called "death", that is
) are not relevant to the riddle.

He did not die of old age.

OK, did he have enemies?
Well, since this seems to be going well, I know quite a few riddles that I could post when this one is done. See if everyone hasn't had enough, by the end of it!

Enemies . . . well, there is this one guy named Goldfinger . . . wait, that was someone else. Actually, no, he had no enemies.

Maybe to prevent lots of posts, when I come back from work and find lots of questions, I should answer them all in one post rather than replying to each post individually . . .
It's looking a bit cluttered!

No, he did not have an aneurysm (did you know how to spell that offhand . . .?)

Just to be sure everyone is on the same page, let's specify first that there are several categories a death can fall into, and that the term natural causes typically means an illness, disease or other internal medical problem. No, he did not die of natural causes.

No, he most definitely did not want to die.

Was he murdered by someone else?

Was he strangled to death?

Was he married?

If he was married, was he and his wife happy?

Was he a convict of any sort, meaning, did he ever go to prison?

Did he ingest any poison?

Sorry, I missed your earlier question about murder!!

No, he was not murdered.

No, he was not strangled.

His marital status is not important to the riddle, but let's say yes, just to round out his character!


He was not a convict of any sort.

No, he had not ingested any poison.

Remember that this is a riddle, so things may not be what they seem. Try and come up with questions that will cover lots of possibilities. Try using larger categories to get at the answers, like use the term homicide or murder (which was just asked!), rather than asking lots of questions about types of weapons, etc.


Also, you might try asking questions about his surroundings, etc.

No.
My first attempt looked like this: anurysm. No.
That didn't look right. So, I checked my on-line dictionary
Ah, there's the correct spelling. Pesky silent 'e'
I typed: aneurysm...
Success!

Next riddle question: Did an animal kill the guy?

Did an object fall onto his head?

Did his blood found on the scene come from a wound?

Was there a wound on his body?

Was there blood in the wound?

Did he actually die?
