I know nothing about the background story, but you can't help wondering can you.

Back in the 80s we'd call this out as "Yeah right. Jimmy Hill"!

It certainly appears so, particularly with identities of the other people on the yacht at the time.

Extraordinary coincidences do happen especially when money or power is involved.

Was thinking the same thing. Extraordinary coincidence isn't it. Both him and the guy missing in the boat sinking were defendants in a multi-million fraud case. All the people on the boat were linked to the same company in some way. The boat was also docked off the coast of Sicily. Mafia involvement maybe?

I don't think indulging in conspiracies after such a tragic event is particularly edifying.

I understand why you say that, and I did think twice about posting it, but I thought putting it in neutral terms reflects surely what many, many people might be considering.

I had a similar thought, but the details of the car accident don't really seem to fit the narrative.

If it was less than a coincidence, you'd expect the vehicle to have made a hasty departure and been found burned out a couple of miles away.

One hell of a coincidence, though.

Bit naughty of the BBC not to publish the whole story initially. It just said the guy had been hit by a car and police were appealing for witnesses. They later amended it to say he'd been a hit by a lady driver and she had remained at the scene.

I must admit I hadn't read beyond the headlines of either of the stories - it was an extremely lazy bit of positing by me.

The reporting, intentional or not, does seem to be inviting conjecture.

The death of the chap out running keeps getting mentioned alongside the boat story, but only in very basic terms - i.e. 'his co-defendant was hit by a car whilst running at the weekend and was killed'.

With such little information being provided, and the story somehow making heavier weather of the fraud acquittal than the circumstances of the crash, it's not surprising that people are thinking that it might be more than just a coincidence.
