#2 no clue
#3 the stranger shot her from the backseat? this is very vague...
#4 he fell out of a plane? ok, forget that
#5 they are siamese twins
4&5 are correct! But how come he fell out of a plane, frozen?

#1 - corpses of who or what? See above....
#2 - did the man die of natural causes? shot? electrocuted? crushed? fell from great height? poisoned? asphyxiated?
I guess asphyxiated, then.

On the right track. Why did they jump/fall? And why couldn't they get up?

He didn't need to. The temperatures where many planes fly are about 40-50 Celsius below zero. That's quite cold.
About #1 - maybe the ship was on fire?
I forgot my sig.

Why don't you go ask him? Maybe he wanted to go to the lavatory and opened the wrong door...
No.
Was there a rampaging tiger on board?

and the plane one maybe they were stowaways hiding in the undercarriage I've heard about that happening in real life.

It involves a certain sport -- in particular how the game is scored.

If they're all dead, how could we conclude that they went swimming?

Afraid so... and what a splendid job you did figuring it out!

Now where's Poe's "Rationale of Verse" when you need it...
Oh, and "sixty" was the correct answer as well.
