Stephen Chamberlain, former vice-president of finance at Autonomy and co-defendant of Mike Lynch in a US fraud trial, has died after being struck by a car while jogging in Cambridgeshire. Chamberlain was hit on Saturday morning and was placed on life support but later succumbed to his injuries. His lawyer described him as a man of integrity who fought to clear his name. Chamberlain and Lynch faced charges related to the alleged inflation of Autonomy's value before its sale to Hewlett-Packard for $11 billion in 2011, but both were acquitted of all charges in June. Meanwhile, Lynch is currently reported missing after a superyacht sank off the coast of Sicily during a storm, with one confirmed death and several others, including Lynch and his daughter, unaccounted for. Chamberlain had previously worked as the chief operating officer for cybersecurity firm Darktrace and volunteered for Cambridge United football club after leaving Autonomy in 2012. Cambridgeshire police are seeking witnesses to the incident that led to Chamberlain's death.

One person is fatally injured, another confirmed dead, and severel others are missing, perhaps dead too. Many people who know them will be hurting right now.
We don’t say people were fatally injured in bullet-related collisions…
They had already been acquitted, sinking a yacht in a freak tornado makes zero sense as a way of assassinating someone, and the woman who hit Stephen Chamberlain with her car remained at the scene.
