he was shot
he had a heart attack
did he have diseases?
did he die naturally?

The man was facing his house, back to the street, admiring a new paint job. A bus passed, traveling a fair bit too fast and hit a sharp, golf ball sized rock in the road in just the right manor to rocket it at the mans backside, puncturing his kidney causing him to bleed out.

Is the rock normal?
Is it special?
Is it normal elsewhere from this guy's house?

Was the man secretly a time traveller?
Did he have a rock fetish?
Was it murder?
Was the "rock" a name for something else, like a time machine?
Is the name of the person important

Was the rock in motion when it hit the man?
Was the man in motion? (you said "standing" so probably not, but just checking)
Is the point of contact relevant to his death (where it hit him on his body)?

so a meteor crashed his house while he was standing in the frontyard and a high radioactive rock hit his back and he died!

Awesome death indeed.

Very close to the point it is right.

Basically yes a meteor hit his back.

Aw, I was gonna suggest he had a cliff-front house, and the rock pushed him off the edge. Met the criteria D;

Kudos to you anyhow haha.
