Romeo and Juliet are found dead on the floor in a bedroom. When they were discovered, there were pieces of glass and some water on the floor. The only furniture in the room is a shelf and a bed. The house is in a remote location, away from everything except for the nearby railroad track. What caused the death of Romeo and Juliet?
Common Wrong Answers
“They were poisoned.”
The riddle provides no evidence of poisoning; the presence of glass and water suggests a physical accident rather than foul play.
“They were humans who fell from the bed.”
The riddle clearly indicates that Romeo and Juliet are found dead in a bedroom with no human context, and the presence of water and glass points to a fish tank, not a human scenario.
“They committed suicide.”
There is no indication of intent or reason for suicide in the riddle; the scenario described points to a tragic accident involving their fish tank.
