A man wakes up in bed, because he hears a disaster outside. He looks out the window, runs up the stairs, turns the light on, runs back downstairs and kills himself. What happened?

Does anyone have an answer to this, I'm really curious & can't think of anything, or was Zane C's right?

Oh, sorry, I should have answered sooner.

Answer:

Spoiler

The man was a lighthouse operator. He didn't turn on the light and as a result a ship crashed. He felt so bad, that after turning on the light, he killed himself.

I have sort of a long one that requires additional information via question asking. I'm not sure if it's appropriate due to the length but I figure cyber space is pretty big.

Rules:

You can ask me any question about the riddle as long as it can be answered with "yes" or "no." Now, that doesn't limit my answers to yes and no, I can also answer with "irrelevant" or "rephrase the question."

A man is lying flat on his face (dead) in the middle of the desert with a straw in his left hand. How did he get there and why did he die?

You don't have to ask question in spoilers...just put answers in spoilers.
