    Is she at her house?
    or in a hotel room?
    Did she died with a shotgun?

    Did she die of natural causes? (seems to be an obvious question yet no ones asked it )

    Is there a chimney in the room?
    was she killed?

    Has anything been done so far to investigate the scene?
    Was Sherlock Holmes referred to?
    Was there blood on the floor around her?
    Was there any noise heard from the outside before this was found out?
    Was this done at midday?

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed." Romans 10:9-11

    Did she die of a disease?
    Are all the walls there?
    Are there any other places to leave the place?
    Did she close those windows?
    And what about the doors?
    Was she poisoned?
    Was she killed violently?
    Did she drown?
    Are there supernatural elements involved?
    Was it an accident?
    Did it look like one?
    If you believe even a half of this post, you are severely mistaken.

    Yes, there is a chimney in the room.
    Yes, she was killed.

    The Room:
    - all walls there
    - has a chimney
    - No one else present
    - No other exits

    MISC:
    - No supernatural elements involved
    - It was not midday
    - Sherlock was not invited (such a shame)
    - No one saw her die.-

    Was she poisoned?
    Is there music playing?
    Are there other people in the house?
    Is the scene bloody?

    Would it be beneficial to speculate as to which room she was in (bedroom, kitchen, etc.)?

    Was the poison in a solid state? Gaseous? Liquid?

    Did she lie in her bed?

    Did she die at night?

    Did she accidently self administer the poison ? (or should I say unwittingly??)(eg someone mixed it in the sugar/medicine and she gave it to herself in her on time)
    Was it a rare poison
    was it a classic muder poison eg hemlock, arsnic,cyanide and much as it saddens me to ask it nightshade?
    was it a poison you could redily find in any home?? washing ditergent rat poison fertilizer weed killer etc????

    Was the poison administred through the chimney?
    Or via another Air intake?
    Was the killer related to the victim?
    Was she married?
    Did she have psychological problems?
    Are there people with a criminal record in her social environment?
    Is the poison modern?
    Or has it been around for a long time? ->more than 50 years.
    Was the poison Carbon monoxide?
    Were strong emotions involved?
    Or was it a Cold murder?

    That is enough... For now.
