torturer suddenly dies?
i read the letter in general tobias's room about how he is spooking the guards in the barracks, but after that i suddenly got a check mark for killing the torturer. at this point i never even visited his room yet and when i got there dude is already lying on the ground. what the hell happened?

edit: also found hiram burrows in this room dead. despite using the non-lethal takedown recording. this is so weird.

It's certainly never happened to me. I tried looking for similar comments. I found this after a while...

It seems like this can happen in a number of ways, though the descriptions don't quite match yours. The comments are about finding either just the Regent, or both him and the torturer dead in various places.

It happens if the arrest sequence is interrupted either by guards becoming suspicious or spotting the player.

Apparently so, but if you look at the link I attached, it seems that that isn't always the case.

Personally, I couldn't say one way or the other, since it's never happened to me. One person in that link stated categorically that it happened after trying it several ways. The only way they could avoid the death was by 'exiting that map before the guards escorted him to the lobby.'

So, that player went with the non-lethal option.

Since a number of players have had this, it's looking like a bug/glitch to me. Nobody seems to know what triggers it, though.

Then there's the chaos mechanism that could play a part.

I never had it, but I always played low chaos... very low. I like stealthy games! I honestly can't recall how I played this... it's been years. I'd guess that I scuttled around keeping out of sight. It'll be interesting when I get that far this time. I've just decided to dabble with Dishonored when I get fed up with Styx: Master Of Shadows... we'll see.

It could be but it is usually just guards finding an unconscious body somewhere in the tower and sounding the alarm or going into a search. This will trigger the Lord Regent to run, no matter where the guards were alerted.

Could be why I never triggered it. I was sometimes surprised by the 'bodies detected' stat, or something. I always tried to hide them carefully, if I knocked any out. Mostly, I tried not to even KO them.

oddly enough despite those 2 dying i actually still got no hostiles killed. i guess technically i didnt cause the death so the game doesnt count it.

Yeah the guards will kill them both because they become hostile towards one another. So no kills on your hands with the games logic.

Just started this mission again and had a really weird thing happen, way before getting to the Regent. I made my way up from the dock, blinked to take out the first zappy station (don't know what the little ones are called) and choked out that first guard. I stowed him on the balcony before the door leading to the zappy thing...

... on going back up, Dark Vision showed a guard rushing out from the main entrance. I ran to find cover, but he went down past the zappy thing, opened the door to the balcony and found the body, then ran around screaming that he was going to find me!

I reloaded a save because I didn't want alarms or detections, did the same thing again and nothing bad happened. There's no way that guard could see me carrying the body, so why the first time?

This level seems a bit buggy, to me.
