I’d be shocked if it was anywhere near correct but I was going for the honorable mention of “Most Lateral Incorrect Answer”.
Would knowing the cause of death help to lead to the solution ?
Was the dog buried in the graveyard without the man?
Was the man buried in the graveyard without the dog ?
Is it anything to do with payment ? Did he die before all the relevant
paper work could be completed ?
Did the man die of anything that might fall into the broad category of “natural causes”?
Was he killed in an accident?
As the result of foul play?
Because of medical malpractice?
YES. But I would investigate some aspects of this general topic more.
NO
So, killed in an accident. Did he die immediately?
Or did he die later, most likely but not necessarily at a hospital?
Is it important to know the location of the accident?
Did it happen at the cemetery?
Good questions.
Is the size of the dog relevant?
Did the dog have any “job”, other than being an ordinary pet?
(hunch here) Did the lack of the dog contribute in any way to the man’s death?
Did the man die in the same city where the cemetery was located?
Same state (or equivalent thereof, if applicable, if he didn’t die in the US)?
Same country?
The dog is just a dog, his pet. He loved it and wanted to be put in the same spot of the cemetery. I
IRRELEVANT - I’d say probably same state and country. No idea on city. It’s irrelevant.
The fatal accident:
Did he fall from a height (including, possibly, down stairs)?
Was it a floor- or ground-level fall (maybe slipping, or having a cat run under his feet)?
Did something fall on him?
Was it a traffic accident with him in a vehicle?
Was he run over as a pedestrian?
NO to everything.
Was the condition of his body the relevant factor?
Did he die in a notable historical event?
The poor dog buried alive and took a few days to die.
Was the dog buried alive? (just to make sure you meant the dog was buried a few days before the man died)
Was the man’s death caused or partially caused by the death of the dog?
Word count…
Did the man’s death involve:
Fire?
Firearms?
Electricity?
Lightning?
Any type of vehicle?
Falling?
Toxic substance?
Infection?
Blunt force trauma?
Crushing?
Piercing damage?
Suffocation/ drowning/ choking?
Starvation/ thirst?
Drug/ alcohol related?
(Anyone, feel free to add to this list any possible cause of death I didn’t think of)
Fire.
So, fire. What can fire do to a body…
Did the fire make him too fragile to be moved?
Or too rigid to fit in the grave?
Or stuck to the place where he died?
Or in some other way make him physically difficult to bury in that plot?
Good questions.
Was the body misidentified? Was he buried elsewhere by mistake?
