You got most of it correct Christine. He was a paleontologist and he was reviving a triceratops which had been frozen in the ice age when it came to life and killed him. Think the marble building was only there so you'd hopefully guess his job. Will make them easier in future especially at this time of night! Off to bed now to read a couple of chapters of my book. Speak to you tomorrow. Night. Aileen

well I can only think of a triceratops in a natural history museum! Maybe he was a paleantologist (sp) and was setting up a display of a triceratops and fell on it's three horns, but then why would he be outside the building? You know how terrible I am at these! LOL Christine

No he didn't fall. Think of what type of ologist he could be and what would kill him with three holes. Clue - think Natural History Museum!

You are on the right track but he's a different type of 'ologist'.

Hi Spud, Right. I'm sure I've asked that one before. A man is found dead outside a large marble building with three holes in him!

In a boat that has sunk, the rays are fish.

Some sort of shock from the rays of the chandelier onto the gold. Ann

The suns rays shone through the glass of the chandelier and caused a fire which killed the man? Christine

Yes Ann, you got it. A man is lying dead in a room. There is a large pile of gold, jewels etc on the floor, a chandelier attached to the ceiling and a large window through which rays are coming.
