I need to know the answer to this riddle...?

John invites Michael to dinner on a Saturday. The food, a platter of roast beef sandwiches, was served from the same plate. The drink, iced tea, was served from the same pitcher. The utensils were clean, as were the glasses and plates. However, Michael died from his meal later that day. What killed him? Michael does not have an allergy to any of the materials in the food, the drinks, or the utensils.

    I think the food choked his throught, and then he died out of suffocation.

    This will be called thge death due to food only.

    ...Michael was invited over, ate dinner, and then died later that DAY? lol... thats funny^^

    anyway, um.... all that is being asked is "what killed him?" and that is answered in the riddle/question.

    The story does not state that Michael was in perfect health. Though he maybe was not allergic, his medical condition may have caused his death.

    There could have been an accident, either one spilling his drink, Michael slipping in the iced tea and hitting his head on the corner of the table.

    Michael as guest lives somewhere else. After having drunk iced tea he needed to use a bathroom, couldn't find one and was run over by a bus because he was looking for a toilet in stead of paying attention to traffic.

    Or maybe John stabbed him with a knife/fork and Michael slowly bled to death

    well...the riddle does not say john ate at all.

    maybe michael at to much.

    ( by the way you can die from that )

    why would you need utensils for a sandwhich.

    maybe he stabbed him self.

    or

    he chocked to death

    :]

    lol

    i dont kno the real answer

    but maybe one of these is in the ball park

    :p

    Considering a man inviting another to dinner, I'd say they were chuff monkeys, and I reckon Michael choked on John's cock.

    Michael is a prisoner on death row.The dinner he ate was his last meal,before he was executed.

    Am i right?Hope so LOL :-D
