A man of about 35 y/o was standing in his kitchen drinking a glass of water All of a sudden, the window over the sink cracked and exploded and the man laid dead on the floor. Upon investigation, the Coroner's "preliminary" report stated manner of death as "Natural Causes."

Because of his age, they did an autopsy and found a bullet in his brain. The Coroner did not originally see it because the bullet entered his skull at his hairline with no bleeding. Although improbable of happening, not impossible.

At the end of investigation, the Investigators concluded that the man had no enemies. No motives were found, no large insurance policies and nothing worth of value to be gained by anyone. His wife did not have a lover or an admirer. Everyone in the home, in the neighborhood and at work got along with him and him with them.

Who done it? How did they do it? Why did they do it?
 

Since I know nothing of how a bullet enters through glass, any guess I'd make would be ignorant.
Radish Rose said it could have been lodged in his brain for a long time. This sounds feasible.
Bowing out of this one, 911!

But I love these! Keep em coming!

If I may, Gaer, seeing how RR, guessed it could have been the butler, my answer for you is, it was the maid! :)
 
OK, sorry to leave you hanging. Been busy the past few days. Some of you were close to the 'exact' answer, but here's the rest of the story.

On one of those in-service days for teachers, two-14 y/o boys were looking for something to do on that day and as most 14 y/o boys do, they got themselves into some trouble. The one boy's father had just bought a new rifle and his son thought the 2 of them should take the gun and try it out.

They loaded the gun and as they walked around the sparsely populated little town looking for something to shoot at, the one boy said, "Hey, let's shoot at that street light," which was maybe 50 yards away. They each took a few shots until 1 of the shots hit the light and breaking it. At that point, they both took off for the hills.

The neighbor of the man that was shot in the head happened to be outside working in his yard when he heard his neighbor's window break. He knew that his neighbor was home that day and he thought he should go check on him, in case there was an accident or to at least find out why his window broke for no apparent reason. (He never heard the rifle fire the shot.)

After the neighbor didn't answer the door, he went around to the back of the house and found that the patio door was unlocked, so he entered the house. That's when he found his neighbor lying on the kitchen floor. After the police were called to the residence and later found out that the man had been 'shot' and his death was not caused by natural causes, the police began to canvass the neighborhood asking the neighbors if they saw or heard anything suspicious. One of the town's residents told the cop that he did see 2 boys walking down the street carrying a rifle. He knew the one boy, so the cops went to that boy's house and questioned him and that's when they found out that the boys were shooting blindly and without thinking at a street light.

It was further deduced that one of the bullets that was fired from the rifle probably went through the window and striking the man in the head. Later, a ballistics' report confirmed that the bullet in the man's head was fired from the boy's rifle. A very tragic event, to say the least.

Like we always say, "What goes up will come down." And to think, in some countries, they celebrate holidays or special events by firing their guns into the air. Idiots.

"Idiots", my sentiment to a T, 911.
 
The last story is also true and happened in Colorado Springs. Maybe it can be found on the Internet.
BTW, I may have confused the story a bit, but the facts are for sure.

With these and other stories posted here, I like to approach the case with no outside influence, relying solely on my own hunch as to what transpired.

Makes it more fun that way. :)
