Locked Room Mystery

The body was found in a windowless room, with no secret psssages, and the door was locked from the inside. But it wasn't a suicide. What happened?


The classic locked room puzzle, which in fiction always has some convoluted solution involving psychoactive drugs or human hair locking ropes that were burned  away.


But in reality, the real locked room mysteries are always a simple case of human error, the door wasn't locked, or it was suicide, or any number of boring solutions. It's never the cool type.


Except for when the room is built quickly around the corpse, quite obviously.
