    The thing that’s always interested me is that you can choose how they die, but surely there are limits?

    Could i say ‘dead by gunshot wound to the back?’ Is there a bullet left over? A gunman seen fleeing the scene?

      It has to be plausable.

      If there is not gun around, they just die by heart attack.

      Example: If you write: “dead by Car Accident” and the victim is the middle of nowhere where its implausible for a car to be nearby, they just die of a heart attack.

      A plausible seanario you could write is: “death by gunshot wound; purchases a gun and attempts to use the gun to commit bank robbery, is shot dead after shooting at responding law enforcement officers and misses, provoking a deadly return fire in response” (the bullets shot at law enforcement had to miss, since the death note cannot make a target kill other people)
