There IS a relationship only insofar as two things happened on the same day. Other than that it would be a stretch, in my opinion, to believe that he waited to die or was ordained to die on the same day as the first day of silence (whatever that is) and that that would be somehow auspicious. I also agree that the question "why" is not asked often enough. It seems there are a lot of 'faithful' at FFL; not that it is a bad thing but I prefer faith tempered with a healthy dose of questioning. >
