| I don't know... Maybe it was raining and she didn't know where her husband was and she was just trying to go downstairs to find out. Meh. |

| Oh silly me! and here was me thinking that the whole family were playing a game and sticking their fingers into the doorbell connection and they all got electrocuted. In future I will have to think harder. |

| I thought there was a gas leak and a spark from the bell blew the house up! Rather morbid though, isn't it? |

| i thought the easiest answer would be to have the doorbell ring from a muderer and he killed the family. |

| C'mon...this is like me typing 'a man wakes up and dies and one one was in the house to see it.' There are so many open-ended answers it borders on lunacy. |

| I was thinking the exact same thing as DizzyDesi. Ones with answers like this make me think maybe ones submitted by members are a bit too open-ended to ever guess, even with questioning. |

| I agree that a spark from the doorbell blowing up a gas-filled house would work better...ha ha guess I'm morbid too  |

| Very improbable.  And seriously, who ever said that the baby would stay in the bathtub? If it was not old enough to crawl, than it was probably washed in a special bath. |

| Good teaser, but too many possible solutions. At first I thought it was a murderer too.  |

| When the answer is longer than the problem, then it isn't a teaser. It's a fill in the blank with a suggested answer. In fact, I like most of the alternative answers here in the comments to the printed one. |

| I have to agree that it's a bit open-ended and far-fetched, but very creative answer!  |

| Well, I don't like to be negative, but only a psychic could get the answer that was given. My guess was that the ringer of the doorbell was the Orkin man, and a family of bugs was dead soon. |

| Wow...that teaser needed a lot more information to reach that conclusion... |

| Those who complain about this teaser apparently do not know what a situation teaser is supposed to be. A good situation teaser has insufficient information to solve the problem at first sight so the solver has to ask questions or propose solutions. The best lateral thinking puzzles are intriguing and seemingly illogical yet have a satisfying answer. This is a good situation teaser; many other teasers are inappropriately put into this category. |

| Oh darn, I thought the ringing of the doorbell made the wife deaf so the husband killed himself and the baby bit his mom to death and the baby died of an overloaded diper, well, I was pretty close
