A man turns out the light and goes to bed. He is not in his own home, a hotel, or a normal house. The room he is in is not in a building ten stories tall or higher. He is alone in the room.

Then, he hears a loud CRASH!!!! from outside the window. He looks out.

He sees that it is dark outside, and that there is or are one or more people outside. He does not see any cars. He does not see anyone he knows. He does not see anything that will threaten him. He does not see police. He does not say anything and nobody speaks to him.

Horrified by what he sees, he intentionally leaps out the window to his death - a suicide. He is killed by the fall.

During this series of events, the man saw a crime committed. He was involved in the crime. Nothing paranormal/supernatural occurred.

Explain.

You may ask yes or no questions.

Close, not quite. A few details are incorrect.

When the man turned off the light, did that cause the CRASH!!!!!?
Did the crime affect his lighthouse?
Did the crime affect any person?

He turns off the light in the lighthouse causing a massive shipwreck. Overcome with guilt, he throws himself into the sea.

An old lady got her purse robbed while she looked at the shipwreck.
