You knock on the door and receive no response after several minutes and hear nothing from inside. You check the doorknob; it is unlocked. You sigh and enter the apartment.

Hanging in the middle of the room is a short, thin man -- his neck tilted to the right by a rope around his neck. Dangling in the room with an expressionless face, he appears as a puppet on a string. Dressed in a navy blue business suit, he is pale white with blue lips and thick, sagging purplish skin under his eyes. A slight swaying from side-to-side is his only movement. A makeshift noose leads from his neck to a ceiling fan, and a stool lies on its side a few feet from the man. His apartment is well furnished with a wide screen TV hanging on the wall, leather couches, modern art, and a full bar setup on the far right side of the room.

You do a quick scan of the area but see no phone. There may be a cell phone on him but that means searching his dead body.
