Right, because Umineko is using cliches intentionally (paying homage to mystery tropes, if you will). They even make reference to it in game, when Erika shows up and they all start talking about mysteries, and how they're in a typical mystery setting.
I think there could have been a dying message worked in somehow, even if it was a fake dying message. Like, "OH GOD, BEATRICE IS REEAAAAALLLL". Or they could find a detailed death message in Kinzo's study, which was planted by Natsuhi.
