p-sto, that is correct!

I'll give it someone else for the next puzzle since I have to be heading home now.

That was an embarrassing mistake on my part :p.

I've got one.

Situation: A man is found dead in a locked panic room, a bullet in his head. There is a gun in his hand, and the bullet matches the gun. The door is a heavy duty vault-style door, and, additionally, can only be shut and locked from inside. When the man was found, the door was, in fact, shut and locked. Inside the room are a number of boxes, and a toilet that had never been hooked up.

Problem: The man is elderly, with crippling arthritis in his hands. Those who knew him attest that he could barely turn a doorknob, and certainly couldn't have fired a gun. If he was muirdered, however, how did the assailant escape? The only passage out of the room was a sewer pipe where the toilet was to go, but it's far too small for a person.

Using the provided diagram of the room as the police saw it, can you determine what happened? Was it suicide or a murder? If suicide, how did he shut the door and pull the trigger? If murder, what happened to the murderer?

(Ignore all the white outside the box, it means nothing. Also, ignore that the door has no knobs/handles, as all that means is I forgot to add them. )

EDIT: The boxes are filled with irrelevant things, and none are or were empty.

Technically, no, but what's inside is irrelevant to the puzzle.

Haha, yeah, I was wondering how he was "found" too :p. How did the police get in?

To clear up some questions: they were looking for the man, and, when they found the panic room locked, cut through the door, and found the man dead inside. The ceiling and floor are solid concrete, the walls are brick, and surrounding the room in all directions are 3 solid feet of concrete. The toilet and boxes are there because the room was going to eventually be converted, but nothing had been done with them yet.

A bit of a hint: the diagram, with the possible exception of Mr. Stick-Figure, is to scale.

The door has a wheel that needs to be turned to lock it, so it couldn't have been propped with ice. The bullet casing was found next to the body, as you'd expect if he shot himself. There're no secret passages behind the boxes, but you're getting ever so warmer.

Alright, yes, but miniscule and covered with heavy iron grates at both ends. (Forgot about those, tbh. )

@Norroen: No.

@MM247: If by he you mean the victim, how? If you mean the murderer, how, and where is he?

Edgar Poe approves. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Murder ... Rue_Morgue
Let's see if Jedi Taters will.

I knew it was something that others were thinking but were too embarrassed to actually suggest.

I feel like this guy should have a pet monkey...
