Is there a specific name for a moment where someone dies, not by a main character's hand, but purely by coincidence?
Example: in Season 6 of The Venture Bros., when the Monarch becomes the Blue Morpho to get closer to becoming Dr. Venture's arch-nemesis, all the deaths that the Guild of Calamitous Intent believe was caused by the Blue Morpho are actually by coincidence. Like how the barbarian guy dies because he just fell down a very deep hole, Think Tank dies because he got run over by the barbarian guy's ex-wife and also fell down the deep hole, and the Andy Warhol villains die because the detonator to the bombs that Monarch and 21 planted on the Warhol lair dropped from Monarch's jacket, which caused the explosion.
