He was ontop of a mountain....

He froze to death

but you also said he was strapped to a chair...

Did he starve to death?

Also... I have a riddle for everyone

You are in a room that has a steel cieling... You have a ladder and a saw to get out...

What is the easiest way to get out?

Take the saw and cut the ladder in half. Two halfs make a (w)hole, then simply climb out through the hole.

Actually no.... But keeps guessing

Hint: Something is missing from the text that is the easiest way out.

simply walk out of the room with the ladder and the saw. You never specified the room had no exits, just that you had a saw and ladder to get out, and carrying them gets them out...hehe?

Yup.... I saw a test for abunch of people that proved that some of the smartest people could not answer this question, because most REALLY smart people has no common sense... and this is pretty much a common sense question...

A different version:
you're in a room with no windows and no doors.
All you have is a mirror.
How do you get out?

You take the mirror off the wall and climb through the hole?

Now how the hell are you supposed to cut a mirror? :rant: Especially with a saw.. Maybe a mirror-cutter-thing... but a saw?

Anyway, methinks you told the riddle wrong. The room should also have a table in it, so you can cut the table in half, put the two halves togeter to make a whole, bla bla bla.

There is a riddles thread, ya know...

Perhaps he died before he was ever in the room. Old age/ Natural causes?
Begs the question of who the hell would put him in there though.
