There are four categories: Who, What, Where and Why. Some will be easy, some not. I have as many as six clues to help you along, which I'll supply as needed.

Please limit yourself to one guess, and another guess for each clue I supply. No questions asking for help or hints are allowed. Partially correct answers won't be acknowledged.

Wild guesses and comments are fine. In fact, they can add to the mystery and are fun to read.

The Case:
A man's body is found 1000 feet below sea level. Drowning is not the cause of death.

The Mystery:
How and where did he die?

Bobaphat

Umm, on impact when his plane crashed?

yea, pretty vauge, it could have been at the numerous dry land areas below sea level around the world, or even a man who got eaten by a shark!

This question may have been better phrased like: "wasn't near water" or something along those lines...

Oh, also, he could have been say shot above ground by the mob, and then given 'concrete boots' and sunk to the bottom of the sea

Not really, the only place in the world that in 1000 feet below sea level and not underwater is in the Jordan River valley along the shores of the Dead Sea. In comparison, Death Valley (in California) is only 200-250 feet below sea level.

Of course it is vague! That's the fun part! Hints 2 through 6 make it more and more specific. Have we reached 6 yet, ever?

Corneo

Burial at sea?

Dragonhawk for 5. Although "from drinking water" wasn't part of it, I'm pretty easy going. Today. Be precise in your answers.

Most puzzles don't make it to clue one or minute five.

Stay tuned...
