Alternate answer: Crook climbs to top of church (a tall church) and starts
climbing down to a window using the bell rope. The rope breaks, releasing
the bell which rings, and the crook falls to the ground and dies.

Alternate answer: Man is sophisticated spy, and notices that he has just
been poisoned by an enemy spy in the kitchen. Instead of dying a certain
painful death, he shoots himself.

Alternate answer: Man is Batman returning from the Bat Cave. The Riddler jumps
in front of him, and Batman returns to the Bat Cave to load up on Bat devices.
