I don’t this we determined what caused the fire.
Was it caused by the light apparatus?
The light itself?
Cooking?
Smoking?
A giraffe arsonist?
No…

Did something on the stove like eggs or a pot or a kettle or the stove itself explode in the fire and the shrapnel killed him?
Did his death involve a ship? (Thinking it might be an ironic death)
Was the lighthouse keeper actually in the lighthouse when the fire broke out? Or when he died?
NO
Interesting, interesting.
Wait a minute, so he 1) didn’t die in the lighthouse, but 2) if someone were to arrive they might guess that he burned to death.
Which implies his body was in the wreckage, but the tower couldn’t have fallen on him because 3) he didn’t die of crushing.
Anyway I guess I should ask questions…
After his death, was his body in the wreckage of the lighthouse? Was it in one piece?
When did I say someone would assume he burned to death?
I don’t have it 100% but I think I have everything but the ending
Fire breaks out in the lighthouse from the stove.
Keeper cannot put it out so he runs outside.
Outside the bizarre death occurs like
Electrocuted by lightning?
Bitten by poisonous snake?
Broken neck from tripping over the wood for the stove (irony)?
Stabbed by a startled giraffe?
Was the death outside associated with the cooking or fire on the stove?
I didn’t say that, I said “if someone were to arrive they might guess that he burned to death”, which I think is a fair restating of what you said in post #2070:
I’m aware at this point that there is no charred body or anything. But the fact that a person the next day would not rule out that he burned to death is significant.

It would be ruled out. I won’t go back to correct that post, but it was a convoluted concept I was trying to explain.
NO ONE figured he burned to death.
Gotcha, thanks, that resolves the apparent inconsistency
Was he blamed for starting the fire, and killed/ executed for it?
Did he blame himself, and commit suicide?
Did he catch fire, so he jumped into the sea to put it out but unfortunately drowned?
So let me get this straight. He was in the lighthouse when the fire started. He didn’t run out of the lighthouse due to the fire. He died outside of the lighthouse.
Did he jump out of the lighthouse?
Did he make the decision to leave lighthouse (for any reason and in any fashion) after the fire had started?
Was his death directly caused by weather conditions?
Did he die:
- during the fire?
- shortly after the fire?
- within a day or two of the fire?
- within a few weeks of the fire?
- months after the fire?
- years after the fire?
NO
NO
He died 12 days later.
Note: There seems to be an assumption he never ran out of the lighthouse, but he did. He just didn’t immediately run out the moment he realized there was a problem.
He didn’t run out because of the fire?
Did he run out for a secondary reason associated with the fire?
Did the fire directly or indirectly result in his death?
Was a giraffe on of the other lighthouse keepers?
