4 Riddles

A man was found murdered on Sunday morning. His wife immediately called the police. The police questioned the wife and staff and got these alibis:
The Wife said she was sleeping.
The Cook was cooking breakfast.
The Gardener was picking vegetables.
The Maid was getting the mail.
The Butler was cleaning the closet.
The police instantly arrested the murderer. Who did it and how did they know?
Question 2
A man walks into a his bathroom and shoots himself right between the eyes using a real gun with real bullets. He walks out alive, with no blood anywhere. And no, he didn't miss and he wasn't Superman or any other caped crusader.
How did he do this?
Question 3
Old Mr. Tidy was found dead in his study by Mr. Fiend. Mr. Fiend recounted his dismal discovery to the police. "I was walking by Mr. Tidy`s house when I thought I would just pop in for a visit. I noticed his study light was on and I decided to peek in from the outside to see if he was in there. There was frost on the window, so I had to wipe it away to see inside. That is when I saw his body. So I kicked in the front door to confirm my suspicions of foul play. I called the police immediately afterward." The officer immediately arrested Mr. Fiend for the murder of Mr. Tidy. How did he know Mr. Fiend was lying?
Question 4
If you touch me, you will die, but you can only live without me. I am a big part of your life, and will eventually be the only thing left. You will learn to embrace me finally at rest. What am I?

1. The Maid did it -- no mail delivery on Sunday.
2. The man shot his reflection in the mirror.
3. If there was frost on the window outside, there would be condensation on the interior of the window, ergo, Mr. Fiend wouldn't have been able to see inside.
4. This one temporarily stumped me, so I'll let someone else tackle it.
These are fun, go find some more and post them!

I think you need to come up with a hard one for Ms. Smartypants. If she feels brave enough to think without her training wheels, let's see what she can do.I'm selecting the easy ones....playing for the lowest common denominator.
