When his car broke down, was it because of (or the cause of) a car accident?

Was he thrown from the vehicle (hence the reached into the car bit).

Is he now bleeding to death?

When he has leant into his car, has the rabid baboon (that he has sat in the passenger seat, so he can use the 2+ lane), got scared and ravaged him?

or

Has he cut his throat when he leant in "through" the window.

or

Has he given himself a paper cut from turning the page, and it's a bit deep.

yup thats it.

stuck in the middle of a desert 100s of miles from anything, gets a paper cut and kills himself. This is because he needs to drink the water to survive in the desert, but at the same time that would thin his blood out.


Here is another one, perhaps a bit easier.

There is a man found dead in the desert. He is naked, and there are no tracks around him at all. There have been no sand storms or high winds recently. How and why did he die and end up naked in the desert?

Was he in a hot air balloon with his girlfriend, the hot air balloon got into trouble and was plummeting to the ground, they had to ditch all excess weight (including clothes). Finally, he decided the only way for his girlfriend to survive was for him to sacrifice himself, so he jumped? The balloon regained height and she floated safely away?

One man hands another man a marble, then shoots him. Why?
