Also, it should be obvious whether he finished the artifact or not. Check your announcements.

Is the forge built in such a way as to prevent things, e.g. fire snakes, from crawling up out of the magma? If not, it's possible a burning creature is the cause.

Otherwise the dwarf was ignited by the sheer awesomeness of his artifact, which I would consider a feature, personally.

Good point. TheNextCrusade, please reopen this if you can provide evidence that fire snakes or other magma critters were not the cause of death.

I can confirm there was no critter related cause to what happened,
The furnace had a ramp going into a volcano on the bottom left corner of the workshop, And the scanning of the volcano and units shows no sign of any fire related creatures on the map..

Unless I did not see it at the time, But I think it would do more then kill one dwarf.

I did just see a magma crab. But this is a year after

Vermin appear and disappear, so it's not good enough that you don't see any now. If your magma forge is exposed to a large magma source, magma creatures are an extremely high risk. Also, you don't have a save. There's literally nothing that Toady could act on here.
