	This is a wide guess...
	They lived in a house where the window was water tight.
	Over one night where the house was had a flush. They woke
	up and went to open the window only to let the water get
	in. The water came in contact with the ac outlet and their
	feet and they got electricuted.

	Now how about this:

	A man went to visit a small deserted island which rarely gets
any visitor. He reached the island by crossing a worn wooden 
bridge. He found that there was absolutely no living thing, animal
or vegetation, whatsoever. So he decided to return. But when he put his
foot on the bridge he found the bridge was about to collopse. Since the
doesn't know how to swim and the bridge was the only mean he had to return
to the main land, he was confined to the island. He didn't carry any
thing at all beside his clothings.
	However, by the end of the twenty-first day he made it through the
bridge without any help. What happened?
