King Arthur's Downfall

According to his wife Queenie, she returned home from the country club and began preparing for the arrival of friendswho would be joining in a few minutes. She then claims that Arthur fell coming down the stairs to get another drink. The hit on the head he took from the fall supposedly killed him. First off, the position of the body suggests that there was no way Arthur could have fallen while coming down the stairs.

As a rule, When a body falls such a long distance, the impact would most likely disturb his clothes, causing him to become disheveled.

The fact that none of these surroundings are messed up suggests strongly that Mr. Volupides did not fall down the
