Hi guys! The rules to this game are simple. I post a lateral thinking puzzle. You guys try and answer it. A lot of these puzzles can have more than one reasonable answer, I have seen many clever solutions for this one in particular in the past. The answer will always be posted in the next puzzler unless requested by a lot of people. Here goes....

This is a classic one (among my friends)

A man is found dead right next to a pool. A towel was found wrapped around the man's face. How did he die? (HINT: this death has nothing to do with swimming or drowning).

Discuss, help each other out, and feel free to provide feedback! I will give further hints if requested. Have a Good Friday!

Suffocation by towel. Or he slipped and hit his head and died

He was shot in the head, then his friends used the towel to try to stop the bleeding, with an obvious lack of success
