Tuesday Roddle is Back!

Ok, some of you have heard this before so no guessing! But you are certainly welcome to reply or throw off the others. lol. This one’s a thinker so questions are welcome:

There’s a dead man lying in the middle of the desert face down with a straw in his hand. There is a pile of clothes next to him. How did he die?

ROD EDIT: the dude is also naked (thank you robert)

TUESDAY RODDLE

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt
cannot be heard, cannot be smelt
it lies behind stars and under hills
and empty holes it fills

AND…

Alive without breath,
as cold as death,
never thirsty,
ever drinking,
when tired, never winking.

AND…

I live above a star, and yet I never burn,
I have eleven neighbors, and yet none of them turn,
I am visited in sequence, first, last or in between,
PRS (& sometimes Q)are my initials, now tell me what I mean.

A woman shoots her husband.
Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes.
Finally, she hangs him.
But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together.
How can this be?

AND..

A man was found murdered on Sunday morning. His wife immediately called the police. The police questioned the wife and staff and got these alibis:
The Wife said she was sleeping.
The Cook was cooking breakfast.
The Gardener was picking vegetables.
The Maid was getting the mail.
The Butler was cleaning the closet.
The police instantly arrested the murdered. Who did it and how did they know?

I am strongest when you see me as round, but I am often viewed in other forms. I lift & drop the sea with my tremendous strength, and a man with a name like ‘powerful bicep’ was the first to tread on me. What am I?

Look at me. I can bring a smile to your face, A tear to your eye, Or even a thought to your mind. But, I can’t be seen. What am I?

I can be cracked, I can be made. I can be told, I can be played. What am I?
