Riddle - Tough One?

Question

Bob was staying with Joe and Sue.  Bob typically was the repairman of the group, constantly fixing anything that went wrong.  Susan and Joe tended to work from their place.  

Eventually, the strain of living together with nobody leaving very often started to get to them.  Bob was definitely getting on both Joe and Sue's nerves.  Sue started hiding his tools on him.  Then she took out her frustration on Bob by cutting a frown-face into the back of his work uniform.  It made her smile and she stopped worrying about Bob.  Joe, on the other hand, adjusted several of Bob's tools.  Then Joe started waking Bob up periodically just to annoy him.  

One day, Bob planned to go for a walk and died while walking despite being in perfect health.  He was not poisoned, nor was he struck by anything or attacked by anyone.  Shortly afterward, Susan walked by the same spot and was unharmed, although conditions had not changed.  What killed Bob?  Who killed him?

Already answered this. Here it is again :

All three were astronauts. They were living on the moon.
They were all living with eachother (in their capsule) and getting on eachothers nerves.
Sue cut a frown face into Bob's space suit.
Disoriented from constantly being woken up and thinking it was his shift, Bob put on this torn space suit and went outside. 
He suffocated because the air escaped.
Sue survived because she went by with her space suit on even though outside conditions had not changed.
Joe adjusted Bob's oxygen tank (one of his tools) to not allow him enough oxygen. Bob suffocated.

he fell down a manhole in the street that was left open. he didn't see it because he was tired from joe waking him up all the time. and susan survived when she came by because she wasn't tired and avoided the hole

=edit=

rats. i'm out of ideas then....

no wait - he stood on a snake. he forgot to put his shoes on (again due to tiredness) so it bit and killed him. susan (again not tired) had remembered her shoes and the snake didn't get her

if that's not it, i give up.

aw hell. i just realised that a snake bite counts as poison. i give up......

=edit 3=

(final one this time i think)

ok it was a swinging, horizontal, adult-neck-height blade (like in "raiders of the lost ark"). bob was decapitated by the blade, but susan survived 'cause... wait for it.... she was a midget. brilliant, no????

and i promise, i will give up if that's not right

p.s. can i have the 10 points (for originality) if nobody gets the right answer??

=edit 4=

(LAST ONE)

i give up. my spirit is officially BROKEN. i'm a wreck of a man. i'll end up in a padded room, muttering the names "bob", "joe" and "susan" again and again and again. oh well :)

maybe all the worry gave bob a heart attack he was the only 1 who did not retaliate to release frustration on the formidable couple or ulcers he bled out

hmmmmm, well if sue was hiding her tools ON him, there was a hole in his shirt and the tools were metal, he could have been electricuted through her metal tools, though i'm not quite sure how. I saw on CSI once that a guy was elecricuted because he had a nail in his shoe.
