53 bicycles in a room

OK, here's mystery for you all to solve. You are allowed to ask any questions that you want, but I will only answer "yes" or "no", so you have to word your questions accordingly. I'll give the initial rundown, you have to figure out what happened.

There are 53 bicycles in a room. A man is laying dead on the floor.

OK, solve the mystery! I'll do my best to get back here and answer the questions, but there may be some delay, sorry if that happens. If you've already heard this and know the answer, please don't give it away.

I think I figured it out so I posted... then decided it was too soon too answer so I deleted it./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

cstocks - Thanks for deleting. Just hang back and see if you have it right. If not, then chime in!

Also, I might answer some questions as "irrelevant".

Are the bicycles for sale?

Are they "on" the poor soul?

Are they "on" the poor soul? Sorry, I don't understand your question.

I hate brain teasers, cause they make me feel like a dunce. That said:

1. Is guy dead from natural causes?

2. If #1 is no, is the guy's death an accident?

3. If #2 is no, is the guy's death a suicide?

Is the quantity 53 significant?
Is the dead man on the floor in the same room as the 53 bikes?

Is there anyone else in the room?

If so, did they (s/he) have anything to do with the reason the man is laying dead on the floor?
