Could it be Colonel Mustard with the wrench in the drawing room? No. Not a game of Clue, but a set of clues. Easy.
Colonel Mustard, tripped on the rug, while carrying a vase and three daisies in his recyclable shopping bag. He also purchased a new knife – his had gotten rather dull using it on various things – which embedded itself in his chest when he fell upon his shopping. The killer – a slippery rug dangerously placed on hardwood flooring. Accidental death. Funny though, I could have sworn the Colonel didn’t have one like that in the living room when he left to go shopping . . . .

I’m guessing going back to his army regimental days during the last gasp of British colonialism. Or his axe-murdering neighbour on holiday.
