LT#7 Antony and Cleopatra

One of the guards at a Roman estate found Antony and Cleopatra dead a few feet away from each other at the end of the day. He immediately called Caesar who confirmed that they were both dead. Caesar ruled out poison and there was no sign of foul play. He did see a small crack in the floor, which ran between the two bodies, and concluded that the crack caused their death. He was right, but how did they die?

CLUES:
1. They had not been strangled or suffocated.
2. They were both naked.
3. They were both good swimmers.
4. They did not injure themselves by diving into an empty bath or swimming pool.

They were both pet fish and the tank that housed them had a crack; all the water had leaked away.
