The driver of the vehicle that hit the other chap while he was out running, was a woman on holiday in the area who lives in Suffolk.

The Suffolk which houses the US air bases at Mildenhall and Lakenheath? THAT Suffolk...?

I think this is genuinely the first conspiracy theory I may possibly (because I’m not 100% sold) believe in.

I just find it too much that both these guys died unexpectedly, by accidental means, within days of each other, after they get off this trial. I’m not sure coincidence really stretches that far.

But there are so many good rabbit holes to go down.

I don't really understand the fixation with conspiracy theories. Most accidents only happen because of a series of coincidental events. Remove one event in the chain and there is no accident. This happens all the time. Unfortunately, when all coincidences meet up then there is an accident often leading to death (failure of one mechanism, failure of another, driver error, person in wrong place at wrong moment because they went left not right etc etc).

I feel like everyone is allowed to believe in one wacky conspiracy theory in their life. When you start believing them all then you are the weirdo 🤣

How do you capsize a boat without anyone noticing?
Point to something to distract everyone? Oh look at that giant octopus over there!

Possibly something to do with the huge mast the yacht had……

Anyway, no doubt the survivors will be able to shed some light on what happened when they are ready.
The Emperor Nero supposedly tried to murder his mum by arranging for her to be involved in a shipwreck.

A plan flawless in every detail, until she survived and swam to shore.

Actually, on reflection, it's clearly a stupid idea. He apparently then resorted to the more traditional and idiot-proof method of paying somebody to stab her.

Well that's clearly conspiracy nonsense.

No one gets stabbed in Rome.

One thing most seem to have in common is there being far less convoluted ways of achieving the objective than the one apparently chosen. However theorists love complexity and strangely significant co-incidences but are suspicious of any actual evidence.
