i thought it was he jumped off a cliff or something into a valley, but hey, close enough
just cuz he was found dead in the ocean he could have just have been killed and dumped in the ocean.
This is a good one. Got it right away though, although I didn't have the death valley, but i got the part that the guy wasnt anywhere close to the sea. Also the title kind of gives it away.
There are any number of ways someone could die under water without drowning. I agree, though, that this is the most satisfying one. Maybe you could instead end it with "but he wasn't wet" or some seeming contradiction like that. Good idea.
or maybe.....he wus shot dead on da ship...n then dat ship drowned??
i thought it was nitrogen narcosis (the bends) or something, but hey! i get the idea.
