Bishop Tony Palmer, a South African Bishop with the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches has passed away following a motorcycle accident.

Palmer gained worldwide media attention in January after Pope Francis sent a special envoy to a Charismatic Evangelical Leadership Conference Kenneth Copeland hosted.

Palmer presented a video message from the pope that went massively viral at the Copeland-hosted conference. The message centered on unity among Catholics and Protestants. Copeland prayed for the pope and sent a message of his own back to Francis.

Coincidence, correlation, synchronism, poetic justice, the hand of God, or just an accident?

I have absolutely NO idea, but found this most interesting.
