How do the deaths in Magnolia relate to the rest of the film?

After the entire film, it goes back to the 3 men who were hung for a murder, the suicide of the scuba diver and the suicide teen, and I do not understand what tese 3 coincidences have to do with the rest of the film, other than there mention in the intro. I feel like they have nothing to with anything that is inbetween them, and I think they probably should, and I was hopeing someone could shed some light on that.

How do the deaths in Magnolia relate to the rest of the film?
Those initial stories depicted in the intro are meant to set the stage for the stories of the characters in the film. There really is no narrative connection between them, but are meant to show events that involve synchronicity and karma.





As bizarre the stories in the film are, those news stories were true and are meant to show that these things do in fact happen.
Reply:24 hours in L.A.; it's raining cats and dogs. Two parallel and intercut stories dramatize men about to die: both are estranged from a grown child, both want to make contact, and neither child wants anything to do with dad. Earl Partridge's son is a charismatic misogynist; Jimmy Gator's daughter is a cokehead and waif. A mild and caring nurse intercedes for Earl, reaching the son; a prayerful and upright beat cop meets the daughter, is attracted to her, and leads her toward a new calm. Meanwhile, guilt consumes Earl's young wife, while two whiz kids, one grown and a loser and the other young and pressured, face their situations. The weather, too, is quirky.
