Answer: Nothing.
There is nothing on the other side of the tombstone as the wordplay is ‘nothing’. Sufferer people don’t eat hence they eat ‘nothing’. If a person who is working eats ‘nothing’, they die. The tombstone moreover has flipside play on words with the phrase ‘Answer on the Other Side’. ‘Other Side’ can refer to the other side of the tombstone or the afterlife.
Note: there are often multiple valid answers for these types of riddles.
