No, it could have happened on the first or third day as well.

Hmm, so there was water on the floor. This one is going to drive me crazy right?

Oh yes. Oh yes indeed.

Are the ages of the family members relevant?
Are the weather conditions at the time they died relevant?

The Mountaineers

A family of 4 were going on a mountaineering holiday. The second morning they were all found dead in their cabin. The coroner declared that they had all died from drowning. The faucets in the cabin had not been left on and the boiler and water storage units were undamaged. There was no sign of foul play. What caused them to drown?


Clues: 1. They were at least a mile from the nearest lake.
2. It had not rained for 5 days. Not a flash flood.
3. It was not caused by problems with a dam.

No worries, I have like 5 threads to be updated and all those... phew!

Were the dead people found on the floor?
Were they perhaps on the bed?
Is there a bath tub in the cabin? A recipient of water in the cabin?

Perhaps on the floor, on the bed, on a table, doesn't matter.
No internal water source was present.

Is it relevant where the cabin is located?

Did the cabin move? For example, a landslide caused it to slide down the mountain?

Is snow involved?

Would they have found fresh water in their lungs (as opposed to saltwater or some other type of liquid)?

Was there anything wrong with the cabin?

Is there more than say 3-4 inches of water on the floor?

Did any water get in under the door(s)?

Humidity? Did that have anything to do with it?

Did a big plane with a water tank come in and dump a lot of water on the cabin, crashing in the roof and drowning everyone?

(Hey, I had to ask.)

Haha. Where did that crazy idea come from? That would be funny - there was a forest fire and the plane was sent to the nearby lake to get water to drop on the houses. Was there a man with a snorkel and mask dead in the cabin as well?

I know, but no, no plane dumping water.

No.

The water type is important. Is it fresh water? Saltwater? Chemically treated water?

Is fire involved? Did the water come from a firetruck?

You're getting closer.

The house started to burn, a firetruck put the fire out not realizing that there were people inside. They were found dead because they drowned in the water from the firetruck.

Stop laughing, I'm tired! ;)

Saltwater - Did it get hit by a tsunami?

Alty - your answer wasn't crazy. Actually for this game, neither is this.
