The loved one of someone who dies may find it easier to bear if the death can be viewed as something other than a random tragic accident. That may explain Mohammed al Fayed's total conviction that his son was murdered. He called the report "shocking" and his lawyer said many questions remained. Stevens would say only that al-Fayed was "a genuinely grieving parent...
