Lots of things could happen to a body. If two people died in a car crash, it easily could have been three, with more complications. Car crashes weren't pretty. Can't say he knows the details, but he can imagine. For every handful of good people in the world, there's an unfeeling asshole to make up for it. And the people who ran the Kirijo experiments on the orphan children were definitely bastards. And if they knew that Death had been sealed in him (if they had; hell if he knew that for sure), why wouldn't they have wanted him?
After that, the Strega part doesn't sound quite so implausible to him. Everything he had heard about what had happened there was unsettling. Having to put up with being experimented on, watching the other children—perhaps friends—die, and have your own Persona try and kill you. Then have to take pills to keep it down. And those pills weren't a walk in the park either, and not a solution, just a delay. He could see how Jin and Takaya, though he knew them comparatively little, became who they were. Be hard to be "normal" after that. Didn't excuse the things they did, but it helped explain things.
