WELL DONE, GUROK! Man, that was a great leap of intuition! You are a true detective. I really thought the round would last a tad longer... (laugh)

Over to you if you want one, or the floor is open if not.

Cheers! I thought it was a rather good one if I do say so myself... 8-)

Thanks, Mandle! It was a very lucky guess, but after I'd made it, I was pretty sure of it. I was just reading through the clues again at work today and it struck me.

Let's see if I can do this.

Case #19 - A man is found dead, slumped in the recliner of a hotel room. There are chocolates on his lap, but he wasn't poisoned. What happened?

die of diabetic shock?
is there any visible wounds?
is there any other signs that someone else was in the room?
Pro is the opposite of Con                       Kids of today are so much different
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

Oh my God! Willy Wonka killed Forrest Gump for having a more famous quote about chocolates than him!!!

Was he murdered?

Did he receive the chocolates as some kind of warning message?
Is the mafia involved in this story?
Did he eat any of the chocolates?
