I thought he was just homeless guy who froze, starved, or died of old age.
maybe it would be more clear if it read: a man got a hole in his suit and died. etc...
or maybe a deep-sea diver?
More of a trick unless you state it more clearly
how about he put on a holey shirt that morning then got strangled to death, or choked, or had a heart attack, or how about he was in a fight, got his shirt torn, then died because of internal bleeding?
I think i read that one somewhere else on the site as well

scary, wierd !!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I agree with the earlier posts. I thought that the hole had nothing to do with his dying. It could be that he died of natural causes i.e. old age...
just plian weird.
Who but a genius (maybe not even) would've guessed that one?
I agree with everyone else....

Actuallly, if a man were to recieve a hole in his suit in a vacuum such as space, the pressure in the man's body (14.7 pounds per square inch) would attempt to equalize with the pressure on the outside (0 pounds per square inch). This would result in a violent explosion that would undoubtedly leave visible blood.
