Missing UK tech billionaire Mike Lynch’s associate Stephen Chamberlain, who stood trial for fraud alongside him after the sale of software company Autonomy, died just days before the entrepreneur vanished in the shipwreck off the coast of Sicily.
Chamberlain was out for a run in Cambridgeshire, England on Saturday when he was struck by a vehicle and died after being rushed to a nearby hospital.
Chamberlain and Lynch, who remains missing after a luxury yacht he was on with his wife and 18-year-old daughter sank Monday, were co-defendants in the decade-long fraud case that arose after the $11 billion sale to Hewlett-Packard.
Both men were acquitted last June.
Lynch’s wife, Angela Baceres, was rescued soon after the vessel went down after a major storm, but the British tech magnate — sometimes referred to as “the Bill Gates of the UK,” and his daughter, Hannah, are among six missing passengers who have yet to be found — four British nationals and two Americans.
