Ah, I bet Tabata's got it, and the thing that kills him is simply tobacco smoking.

It definitely does fit all the clues

This fact can clearly be seen,                  Don't you know?
If progress means to move forward         Just ask them where they are from
Then what does congress mean?             And they tell you where you can go.  --Nipsey Russell

Well done to Tabata!!!

Solution: The man is a heavy smoker of many years and he uses a novelty gun-shaped (refillable, we must assume) lighter to light his cigarettes with. Eventually this kills him from a smoking-related disease.

That round lasted longer than I expected for a riddle I came up with on the fly. It's hard to predict what will be easy/challenging. Kinda the same as with adventure game puzzle design!

Over to you Tabata?

Yay! 8-) That was a good one! (nod)
Sadly I am still just with my smartphone. :~(

So if someone has a case in mind - take the chance and shoot!

Edit:
If someone want to host a case but hasn't one to offer - first to post his/her wish here will get one of mine via pm as soon as I can go online again. :kiss:
