Strange Coincidences

I had this childhood friend named Seve Mamula. For probably 2-3 years of my life I called him my best friend, we got along great. We ended up being sent to different schools (his parents were very bent on having him attend a private christian school) and the only time we ever spoke was when he'd invite me to his birthday party which I only got an invitation to every 3 years because I could never come to the ones he invited me to, so I think his mom got sick of trying. We're 21/22 now, and just 3 days ago I decided I wanted to get in contact with him. I looked up him and his family members on facebook/myspace because all I know are their names, no phone number or address or anything, and nothing came up. Today I was reading my families local newspaper and he had died in a motorcycle accident the day after I had tried to find him.

I'm not one of those crazy people who thinks I could have made a difference or something by getting in contact with him... it was a motorcycle accident, but it definitely feels weird, and I'd call it a strange coincidence.
