Very bad timing

It's simple. Chased by the media, car crashed, died. The end. Why does there always have to be a vast conspiracy theory attached to everything?

Because random events terrify people. A vast conspiracy is something that can be fought, chance is just that. If Diana was killed in some kind of plot, then we are safe from dying a similar death, if she died in a horrible accident, then shit, we vulnerable to accidents too, we could die like that. Same thing with 9/11, if it was a government conspiracy we can make ourselves safe simply be removing the people responsible from power, it it is a terrorist attack we have to recognize that there is nothing we can do to stop the insanity that plagues the world and we could very well be next (okay, granted, I doubt that a small casino in Northern Nevada is as likely to be a target as a massive sky scraper, but insanity comes in more flavors than deciding that the best way to commit suicide is to fly a plane into a building so that God will reward you).

It's the same thing that drives victim blaming.

If the victim was somehow at fault, after all, then the person blaming them just has to not be at fault and the same thing will never happen to them.

Sometimes tho, the victim does share part of the blame. Like the people who constantly bleat "Vince Neil killed Razzle!" when Razzle actively chose to get into a car with a pissed Vince Neil. The only innocent victims in that case were the people in the other car, yet no-one ever mentions them.

Razzle was not a victim in this case; he was a participant. In that situation, he killed himself as much as Vince did.

A victim would have been someone who got into the car without any knowledge that Vince was three sheets to the wind.
