I have this posted over in my forums lounge, but I think there are a lot of people over here that would have fun taking a shot at it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, the object is for you to ask questions that can only be answered by a yes or no to provide the clues you need to figure out what happened.

Here's what you know so far:

There is a man lying dead in a puddle.

Where is he and how did he die?

For the last one it's not suicide is it? I'm sure suicide is a crime which always seemed a bit stupid to me. Obviously if you die then you can't be punished.

no.

The key is in asking the questions that will lead to your next one. There isn't really a direct route unless you've solved it before. You're on a fact finding mission, to see how the whole stage is set and what props are involved.

does this involve a phase change of the "puddle's contents" (water)?

Was the person killed by a chunk of ice, propelled at great speed by gravity or a trebuchet? and the ice then melted next to the body??
