Stephen Chamberlain, once Mike Lynch’s co-defendant in the U.S. fraud trial over the sale of Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard, has died after a road accident left him critically injured, days before Lynch went missing off the coast of Sicily, his lawyer said on Monday.

Chamberlain - Autonomy’s former vice president of finance alongside chief executive Lynch - was hit by a car in Cambridgeshire on Saturday morning and had been placed on life support, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters earlier on Monday.

        I’ve got to admit it was pretty clever of them to control the weather into sinking that yacht.

    Note to self: don’t annoy HP. Not that I’m saying this is more than a coincidence, but better safe than accidented.
