Cleopatra and Marc Anthony are on the ground dead. There is shattered glass, water, and a huge knocked over table near them but they did not die of cuts, drowning, poison, or getting hit in the head.

How did they die?

levik's note: why do people always end up dead in these puzzles?

This is not the best place to post this type of riddle.

Usually these are answered by yes or no questions.  (i.e. Did they die of..NO.  Was there blood in the water...No...etc.)

It was a good riddle though, but an old one. Several people eluded to the fact that there could be many different solutions, again that is why normally the riddler and riddlee (nice word, eh.) exchange dialogue.  You also have to take into account the givens, they usually (or should) have something to do with the demise of the people in the riddle.
