sorry CONFUSION!

Who is going to die? the man who woke up, or the man that he sees?
(the last "he" in the second sentence is ambigous).

Sorry, not a yes no question, but if you don't want to answer, I will try and phrase it so (although I do not think the puzzle revolves around this point?)

Does the man know that the other person will die soon? NO
Does the man know that he, himself, will die soon, as opposed to the other person or someone else? YES


The man who wakes up (let's call him A) and sees the other man (call him B) knows that he (A) will die soon.

A man wakes up and sees someone lying next to him. He then knows he will die soon. Why?
I will label the man who woke up A. The man A sees lying next to him I will label B.

It's irrelevant to the puzzle whether B is diseased. A's age is also irrelevant. B is not Death. A did not have sex with B. A and B are in a bed which is indoors. A isn't any specific person. A does not know that B will die soon, but he does know that he himself, A, will die soon. A has not been in a coma, nor has A been asleep for years. B is male.

Is that all correct?
Are the races, ethnicities or religion of either A or B relevant?
Were A and B under one blanket?
Were either A or B naked?
Were both A and B naked?
Does B have a bomb on or near him?
Is B asleep?
Is B alive?
Are either A or B injured?
Will B be the cause of A's death?
Is the location of the building that A and B and the bed are in significant?
Is the type of that building significant? For example, if it's a supermarket, or a bordello, etc.
Does A know B from personal acquantaince?
Does A like B?
Does A dislike or hate B?
Does A know how he (A) will die?
Will there be a third party that causes A's death? For example, a third person, or a wild animal.
Is A Freddie2004 who will kill himself because B, who is Darfius, beat him at chess?
Is B a hallucination?

The location and type of the building the two are in is irrelevant. A knows B from personal acquantaince. It doesn't matter if A likes, dislikes or hates B. A knows how he (A) will die, and B will be the cause of A's death. No third party will be the cause of A's death in addition to B. B is not a hallucination. Both A and B were present when the other fell asleep.

The scenario in which A is Freddie 2004, and B is Darfius, and A kills himself because B beat him at chess is not correct. 🙂

Is that all correct?
Is A related to B?
Is B an adult?
Is A injured?
Is B injured?
Was B the cause of A's injury?
Does A know that he did not have sex with B?
Was alcohol involved in the events that led to the two of them being in bed together?
Were other drugs involved in those events?
Is Freddie 2004 involved?
Is Darfius involved?
Is chess involved?
