Here's an answer that I found when I saw this riddle somewhere else.
The man was adam.He ate the forbidden fruit making him be thrown out of the garden of eden.

There are many, many solutions for this one. (I was thinking allergies myself.) It was cute, but next time, maybe you could think about if there are other solutions.
I really could be anything..maybe a giant stepped on his head while he was eating.
There are lots of solutions to this one! IT is very cute though! but couldnt it have been allergies? Nevertheless, I loved it!
I also thought it was allergies. The body of the teaser could have done with a ltitle more information, making it a little less open-ended, or perhaps having a hint would have helped.
brilliant teaser
good nice
I thought he was allergic.
OK, the only other logical answer would be that he was allergic. If it says it caused him to die, obviously he was killed by the food and nothing else. A giant could not have stepped on his head.
