well actually it seems that you did unpause the game as there's an announcement before that. but...
did he just come on the map? technically all corpses show that message, he wasn't necessarily chopped in half.

(btw just make a bucket or 7 for that pond you're filling XD)
get ready for a siege!

Check combat reports.  Also, it's possible that he was very old when he entered the map and keeled over right away from old age.

A known bug. Get ready for a siege, though! The humans don't care if it was age that killed him, they just know that he died on your territory. They need no further reason.

me, to dwarves: "get those ballistae ready, folks!"
dorf a: "but noone knows how to use them!"
me: "just turn that wheel right there and to fire press that"
dorf b: "but we only have wooden arrows!"
me: "so what? just load them up!"
*human siege arrives*
*ballistae set to fire at will*
*79 seconds*
*no trace of live human on the map (around 9 dead XD)*

from my experience they like to run off the map a lot

They also show up with cloth armour and bronze weapons.

Free bronze shipment from the humans this year instead of a caravan? You don't say.


I almost like them better when they are sieging than caravaning.

Only reason I made peace with them is I need SOMEBODY to haul all my mudstone goblets away.

That's no way to get a head.
