Just what you would expect from a man who died on the toilet.

Better on it than in it, mate. Or so I've been told.
If "The System" is the answer, who asked such a bloody stupid question?

Isn't there a famous tale of a dwarf ninja (apparently they had a habit of employing "differently abled people" because of the lack of suspicion surrounding them and because their deformities often allowed them to go places/do things normally structured folk couldn't) crawling around the bends of a castle garderobe system in order to insert a spear into an enemy lord whilst he was defecating?

There's quite a tradition of being stabbed in the arras... https://pasttenseblog.wordpress.com/201 ... ilet-1016/

You're probably thinking of "Uesugi Kenshin, Allegedly assassinated while using a toilet. "it is also speculated that he was victim of one of the most famous ninja assassinations, by a ninja concealed in the cesspool beneath the latrine at Kenshin's camp with a short spear or sword."

That sounds like the one. I wonder if he spent a lot of time practising?
