Really, if you read between the lines, it's more of a story about how the rapid loss of three close coworkers leads to the development of paranoia in an otherwise intelligent mind. Written with that in mind, it might make a good screenplay.
The man probably needs grief counseling though. I hope he gets help.
1) Fell down stairs, with others present stating it was an accident, not "murder".
2) Riding a bike and hit by a truck.
3) Killed by lightning.
Even IF you can write-up some grand conspiracy that includes paying off the witnesses of 1), and executing a hit for 2), in order to incorporate 3) you would basically have to believe that the conspirators can somehow control lightning, in which case....
A) We are all properly fucked.
And
2) You may as well go along with the "official story" because you can't win a fight against someone with Zeus-like powers.
1 doesn't necessarily require paying off witnesses. If the stairs are uneven by as much as 1/4", it will cause people to stumble on them. Those with bigger shoes than the stair run length will be more susceptible. If the perpetrator knew the relevant height, shoe size, etc of the scientists, it is possible to screw with the stairs in such a way as to have good odds of the desired victim falling.
Were there witnesses for #3? If not, it is also possible to electrocute them and make it look like lightning.

Given all the recent deaths of alternative medicine doctors (is it 8 now?), I'm inclined to give this some consideration.
