Mike Lynch's co-defendant in fraud trial 'fatally struck' by car while jogging

Timeline, because it is not obvious:

    2024-08-17 Saturday morning: Chamberlain hit by car

    2024-08-19 Monday early morning: Yacht "Bayesian" sinks

    2024-08-19 Monday morning: First news reporting of the car accident (doesn't get much attention)

    2024-08-19 Monday morning: First reporting of Lynch missing

    2024-08-20 Tuesday: First reports of Chamberlain's death

So, the car accident was before the maritime incident. It is not clear to me when Chamberlain died.

The timing is weird .. fate?

if you can find the spontaneous rates of yachts sinking with eventually dead or missing people and spontaneous rates of people getting hit by a car and dying, you can calculate the likelihood for 2 such unordered events appearing within a surprisingly short amount of time.

obviously the p-value for the null hypothesis that this is just random coincidence is miniscule in this case.

in the long run formal verification and statistics will publically catch up with all these shenanigans.

If by “fate” you mean “hitmen paid by HP in a very hard to trace way”, then yes!
