It was a foggy day and Steve's armor had been worn down by a ton. Each step he took he took with pain and was near death. He was treading across the desert in hopes of finding a village. He eventually found one but saw the place was empty and the crops were gone. He walked about 2 kilometers forward, and found a well. Not a desert well, but a VILLAGE well. He looked into it and saw it was VERY deep. Deeper than the default drop. So he decided to investigate it. He dropped down and fell into a cave. The water broke his fall, and he noticed there was an over-abundance of Lapis Lazuli. He mined one block and suddenly a redstone signal went off, and the Lapis EXPLODED.
To his knowledge, he fell in a hole. He was found dead without eyes on Monday, April 23rd.
