I'm thinking 2 possible answers:

Answer #1

A blind man enjoys walking near a cliff and uses the sound of a buoy to gauge his distance from the edge. One day the buoy's anchor rope breaks, allowing the buoy to drift away from the shore. When it rings, the man thinks he's further away from the edge than he is, walks over it, and falls to his death.

Answer #2

The man is a bell ringer. One day the rope breaks, and he falls down the shaft and dies.

It has something to do with water doesn't it?

I think that I've heard this before, I think it's probably #2.

I've heard this before and I don't think either of those are right. But I could be wrong.

1 - A blind swimmer sets an alarm clock to tell him when and what direction to go to shore. The first bell is a buoy, which he mistakenly swims to, getting tired and drowning. Then the alarm clock goes off. In other variations, the first bell is a ship's bell, and/or the second bell is a hand-bell rung by a friend on shore at a pre-arranged time.


2 - The sole survivor of a shipwreck reached a desert isle. Unfortunately, he was blind. Luckily, there was a freshwater spring on the island, and he rigged the ship's bell (which had drifted to the island also) at the spring's location. The bell rang in the wind, directing him to water. When he was becalmed for a week, he could not find water again, and so he died of thirst.


It can be so many different things

a magician was trying to do a trick where he comes out of a straight jacket while under water in a certain amount of time. A bell dings to symbolize the clock starting. While the magician is doing his trick he dies from a lack of oxygen. When the assistant notices his lack of movement she dings the bell again to stop the clock.....

i know its out there but hey.. it works..
