"I am going to be fried to death"
If this statement is true then they would have to boil him to death, which would make the statement false, then they would have to fry him to death, which would make the statement true, then........
And on and on.....so they would have no choice but to let him go.

He says " I am dying"
this statement is not true because he has still to be Killed
this statement is not false as he would be Killed
thus the statement is neither true nor false thereby leading to his release...

The fish answer can not be spectacular, the poster states "human beings". Fish are not human beings. I reckon this is the two bodies he buried. His spouse and her lover. that's how he knows who that's. He additionally lives in Alaska.

"You are all so beautiful"
