As in, I found him dead just now in the middle of the trade depot, with blood spilled from his body.  There were no combat logs and the only dwarf who noticed it was the broker, who says he's "witnessed death".  But I can't see anything that could have caused him to die, and I can't really imagine how this turned to be. 

Has anyone else had something like this happen?

[SharkForce]

maybe the gods have a new kind of curse =S

old age?

[psychologicalshock]

Probably just old, in the past ive had diplomats die  from being too old as well.

..Being killed from old age spills blood?

[EmperorJon]

Indeed it shouldn't. My guess would be vampire.

Hmmm didn't see that, well I don't know if that kind of death produces blood id need to pay attention next time, id guess no but maybe it does. If there are no combat logs that rules out most everything else. All I can think of is a very hungry vampire and I have had a bug happen where a vampire kills someone in plain sight but no one notices it.

Ghosts?

Ghosts?

My dead dwarves are all buried and memorialised, so it can't be ghosts.  (Also, ghosts are fairly noticeable when they're trying to kill somebody)

That's the only other explanation I could think of besides old age (but there's still that pool of blood underneath the corpse), but looking at my dwarves' thoughts I can't see any signs of vampire.  They all eat in a legendary dining room and sleep in really great bedrooms - at least last time I've checked.  That macedwarf that died seemed to have just dropped dead on the trade depot - there are no signs of death except on that one spot.

I'm pretty sure people can arrive with old wounds, too.

[ddonohu2]

Can you slab him, then check the slab?

That or ambush ninjas.

You can get injured migrants. So it´s no big surprise that guards can get injured off-screen as well.
