Wait a minute -- if the cabin has been destroyed, how can it be locked?

That's what I'm trying to figure out...

Was there fire involved?

Check that: Did they die while the cabin was burning down due to a wood stove being improperly used and the key to their safety being lost?

I don't think it would be locked from the inside then.

Maybe they ran out of food, but locked the doors because there was a pack of rabid wolves outside looking to eat them, so they prefered to starve to death instead?

Give it to us, Nick. Otherwise I'm going with the rabid wolves angle.

The key here is the word cabin. It's not just a normal cabin, but the cabin of an airplane. The people inside were killed when the airplane crashed.

Wow, that's some REAL lateral thinking..... Can't believe I didn't think of that!

Well, actually, I can. Darn it, if the problems are gonna be this hard I dunno if I'll stand as much of a chance around here.

Akmlm's answer was gong to be mine, except I was thinking of Butterfinger candy bars.

Anyway, I'll add a question: are these fingers and ears parts of his body?
