The man was shot because he was cheating at cards. (Bicycle is a playing card brand) > > o Two dead bodies on the floor of a room, window open, water > > on floor.

This one had one added clue, that there is also broken glass on the floor (or am I being confused). Open window, cat jumps in, knocks fishbowl off table, killing fish, exits through window. Alternately told: Tom is asleep on the couch, Sally is dead on the floor in a puddle of water and broken glass.

The man starved, lost weight, and thus could walk across the bridge without breaking it. (This assumes that the bridge is not further weakened during the twenty-one day stay on the island.)
