Chuck realized he wanted to die so he played the piano. Why?
Did he believe that playing the piano would cause him to die?
If yes, was he correct in this belief?
Or was he playing the piano for some other reason, e.g. to improve his mental state?
Was he a professional musician?
Is the reason why he wanted to die relevant?
Is his geographical location relevant?
Is the time period relevant?
Is Chuck a human person?
Does “die” mean “cease living”?
Does “piano” mean “a keyboard instrument containing a harp with strings struck by hammers”?
Does “play” mean to produce music using the piano by pressing keys on the keyboard?

Was the whole setup some sort of laboratory experiment?
No
Was Chuck an elephant?
No
Was Chuck an animal?
Is this a real life scenario or fiction?
Was Chuck a capable (if not professional) piano player?
In his mistaken belief, could he have played a different instrument to cause his death?
Was it a particular song that he felt would cause him to die, and he played that song on the piano?
Would knowing the song he played be relevant in any way?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality*
Following, reading, and thinking with this one. Thank you for coming up with one! I was running on empty there…
