was the light on an object that can cause fatalities? The best answer is yes. But beware false assumptions. Was this object designed for the purpose of causing death? No. | ||

Was the light on a transportation vehicle? Is a tunnel actually involved, or is the title basically irrel? Was it a household lightbulb? | ||

Was she previously in darkness? Unable to see? Was the light directly connected with the "instrument of death," so to speak? Just a signal? Only tangential? I know it's been made clear that the light itself isn't from a supernatural source. Is the supernatural involved in another way? | ||

Knew she was going to die from... Blunt trauma? Slicing/dismemberment? Poisoning? Internal bleeding/exsanguination? Being crushed? Vampire in the sun? | ||

Is it lightning? No. Is she epylect... epylept... does she suffer from epylepsy? That's a winner. Relevant what whe is doing at the moment she sees the light? No. Was her death a direct result of her illness in relation to seeing the light (such as eg. if you are allergic to pollen, breathe it and eventually choke)? Yes. *****SPOILER***** She had a serious case of untreated photosensitive epilepsy, and saw a rapidly flashing light (not too relevant where, although lights on a police car would probably do), which she realized would (most likely) kill her, due to the seizure it would induce. This is my first puzzle to be solved. :-) Thank you for playing, and check out my other puzzles. | ||

Wow, two epilepsy-related puzzles simultaneously! That reminds me, I should be listening to Joy Division right now. |
