Time for the answers :)

1) He is indeed a lighthouse keeper, and the boats crashed without the light.
2) She was a a parachutist whose parachute malfunctioned.
3) The car was a convertible.
4) His ashes are in an urn on the mantel.
5) They went to a drive in movie theater.
6) He stood on a block of ice and the ice melted.
7) They were goldfish- the wind blew the window open knocking over the fishbowl.
8) He's born in room number 1972 of a hospital and dies in room number 1952.
9) It may be a stretch, but yes that is exactly what the poor guy did after he had been fishing and then called to tell his wife how big the fish was, accidentally punching his arms through the booth.
10) The man is a travel agent. He had sold someone two tickets for an ocean voyage, one round-trip and one one-way. The last name of the man who bought the tickets is the same as the last name of the woman who "fell" overboard and drowned on the same voyage, which is the subject of the article he's reading. This may have derived from a story done by Alfred Hitchcock, if the following Hitchcock quotation is accurate: "If you take your wife on a sea voyage, buy her a round-trip ticket no matter what your plans may be." According to How Come?, it's loosely based on the real-life case of a killer named Henry Landru.
- although the crime story reading incident could work too :)

2)A woman tries to drop a man into the ocean -- by his own request -- but when she tries, he blows back in.
3) A man is doing his job when his suit tears. Ten seconds later, he's dead.
4) A man is lying dead in a room. There is a large pile of gold and jewels on the floor, a chandelier attached to the ceiling, and a large open window.
5) A man is dead in a puddle of blood and water on the floor of an otherwise empty locked room.
6) The music stops, and a woman dies
7) A woman buys a new pair of shoes, goes to work, and dies
8) A man kills his wife, then goes inside his house and kills himself
9) Two men enter a bar. They are served identical drinks. One lives; the other dies.
10) An avid birdwatcher sees an unexpected bird. Soon, they're both dead

Here’s a bonus

I hope that you guys enjoy!
